Moving from Ogba to Kirikiri takes you from the Ikeja side down to the major industrial and port zone of Lagos. Because of transport fare inflation and constant fuel price hikes, you need a flexible budget. The journey requires crossing major traffic bottlenecks like Oshodi, Mile 2, and the heavy truck zones along the Apapa-Oshodi expressway. Planning your movement around peak hours is the only way to avoid spending half your day on the road.
Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
Leave Ogba between 6:00 AM and 6:30 AM if you want to beat the heavy morning rush. For off-peak travel, mid-morning between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM is best. Avoid traveling towards Kirikiri between 4:30 PM and 8:00 PM because of heavy gridlock caused by clearing agents and workers leaving the Apapa ports.

Go to Ogba Bus Park or stand under the bridge and board a straight Danfo heading to Oshodi.
Drop at Oshodi Interchange, walk through the pedestrian bridge to the Oshodi-Mile 2 loading park, and enter a bus going to Mile 2.
At Mile 2 Oke (Upper Bridge), cross over to the side loading buses heading into Kirikiri town or take a short bus heading towards Berger Supro/Trinity.
From Mile 2 or Trinity, enter a final short-trip Danfo or Keke Marwa that goes straight inside Kirikiri, stopping at either Lighter Terminal, Phase 2, or the Prison area.
Always carry smaller cash denominations (Change) like ₦200 and ₦500 notes to avoid 'hold change' fights with conductors.
Hold your phone tightly or keep it inside your bag when walking through Oshodi or Mile 2 pedestrian bridges.
If Mile 2 is completely blocked by tankers, drop at Cele or Vanguard bus stop and take an Okada/Keke shortcut if it is safe.
Ask the conductor 'Where is your last stop?' before you enter the bus, to ensure they are not cutting the journey halfway.

Safety Rating

BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct Blue Line or Red Line train linking Ogba to Kirikiri. However, you can use the standard BRT buses from Oshodi down to Mile 2 to beat some traffic, or use the regulated Yellow Buses (Danfo) for the full journey.
