Walk to Ogba Main Bus Stop and board a direct yellow Danfo bus going to Ikeja Under-Bridge.
From Ikeja Under-Bridge, cross over or walk to the park and enter a large commercial bus or Danfo headed straight to Ketu or Mile 12.
At Mile 12 or Ketu Garage, cross to the Ikorodu-bound park and board a bus going to Itamaga Junction.
Drop at Itamaga Junction, cross the road, and enter a final tricycle (Keke) or local short-distance Danfo directly into Korede community.
Always count your balance (change) immediately the conductor hands it to you to avoid stories.
Hold your smaller naira notes handy so you do not cause a delay or get paired with another passenger.
If you notice any suspicious movement or arguments in the bus, stay calm but highly alert.
Ask the conductor clearly if the bus is dropping at your exact junction before you enter.

If you travel during off-peak hours, it takes about 60 to 90 minutes. However, during heavy morning or evening traffic, the trip can easily stretch to 2.5 or 3 hours.
No, there are no direct commercial Danfo buses running from Ogba straight to Korede. You must break the journey by stopping at major connection points like Ikeja, Ketu/Mile 12, or Itamaga.
It is not highly recommended to travel past 9:00 PM. Major stops like Ikeja Under-Bridge and Mile 12 become isolated and risky, with higher chances of running into hoodlums or pickpockets.
