From Oshodi-isolo, make your way to a major bus stop like 'Oshodi Under Bridge' or 'Oshodi Bus Stop'. Look for a commercial bus (Danfo) heading towards 'CMS' or 'Obalende'. Confirm the destination with the conductor before boarding.
Alight at 'CMS' or 'Obalende' Bus Stop. From there, locate another bus heading towards 'Lekki Phase 1' or 'Jakande'. These buses will take you across the Falomo Bridge and into Lekki.
Once you get to 'Lekki Phase 1' or 'Jakande' (a major landmark before Lekki Phase 2), you'll need to take a smaller bus (Danfo) or a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) deeper into Lekki Phase 2. Specify your exact street or area within Lekki Phase 2.
To save time, sometimes you can find 'short-trip' Danfos that go directly to CMS/Obalende without too many stops.
Always confirm the fare with the conductor before the journey starts to avoid disputes.
Be aware of LASTMA/VIO officers, especially around major bus stops like Oshodi and CMS; drivers may try to avoid them, causing slight detours.
The best way to avoid traffic is to travel during off-peak hours (mid-morning or early afternoon) or consider using the BRT for the first leg of your journey, or even the water ferry if feasible, to bypass road congestion on the Third Mainland Bridge.
No, there are no direct public buses (Danfo or BRT) that go straight from Oshodi-isolo to Lekki Phase 2. You will always need at least one, and usually two, transfers to complete the journey.
While generally safe, it's advisable to exercise caution. If traveling at night, use well-lit routes, stick to major public transport options (like BRT if available for your segment), and avoid isolated areas. It's always safer to travel in groups if possible.

Safety Rating
Medium. Daytime travel is generally safe, but always be aware of your surroundings in crowded areas to avoid petty theft. For evening or late-night travel, general caution is advised. Avoid isolated routes and be wary of 'one-chance' vehicle operators, especially if traveling alone. Stick to reputable public transport.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available from Oshodi to CMS/TBS, offering a faster and more structured travel experience for the initial part of your journey. There is no train service directly applicable for this route.
