Locate a 'Keke Napep' stand or hail one from Onikan Bus Stop (near the National Museum), telling the driver your destination in Ikoyi (e.g., 'Falomo', 'Awolowo Road', 'Ikoyi Club').
The 'Keke' will depart on Onikan Road.
It will proceed to the roundabout and take a slight right onto Awolowo Road.
The 'Keke' will continue straight on Awolowo Road, passing through another roundabout.
The driver will likely turn left onto St. Gregory's College Road.
The 'Keke' will then navigate through Ikoyi, possibly taking a right on an unnamed road, then another right on an unnamed road, and then turn straight onto Ikoyi Road.
It will continue straight on Adekunle Lawal Road.
At the end of Adekunle Lawal Road, the 'Keke' will turn left onto Mobolaji Johnson Road.
Finally, it will turn right onto Ikoyi Club Road, then potentially turn right on an unnamed road, and then left on another unnamed road to drop you off at your destination in Ikoyi.
Confirm the fare with the driver before boarding to avoid disputes.
For a faster trip, consider a 'charter' 'Keke' if you're in a hurry, though it will be more expensive.
'Keke Napep' is often faster than 'Danfo' in heavy traffic due to its smaller size and ability to navigate tight spaces.
Yes, during the day, it is generally safe to walk, especially if you stick to main roads. However, be aware of your surroundings and avoid walking alone late at night. The distance is 3.9 km, which might be a long walk for some, so plan accordingly.
For 'Danfo' buses, listen for the conductor shouting 'Falomo!' or 'Ikoyi!' at the bus stop. For 'Keke Napep', simply tell the driver your specific destination (e.g., 'Ikoyi Club', 'Awolowo Road Falomo') before boarding to confirm they are going your way.
The Falomo Bridge area and various junctions along Awolowo Road are common hotspots where LASTMA (Lagos State Traffic Management Authority) and VIO (Vehicle Inspection Officers) operate. Ensure drivers adhere to traffic rules to avoid delays.
