Walk or take a short Keke from VGC Gate to the Ajah Bus Stop area.
Board a yellow Danfo bus going to Obalende or CMS and tell the conductor you will drop at Outer Marina or the junction leading to Adeniji.
Drop at the closest stop before the bridge or at Obalende, then take a short connecting Danfo or walk down to Adeniji Adele.
Always hold your exact change (change/wazo) to avoid fights with the conductor.
Keep your phone and wallet inside your bag, especially when entering or exiting the bus at crowded stops.
Due to current fuel price increases, going by public Danfo bus will cost you between ₦1,600 and ₦2,500 in total. If you prefer ride-hailing apps, expect to spend between ₦7,500 and ₦12,000 depending on traffic surge.
Most commercial buses do not brand their destination as 'Adeniji'. Instead, look for buses going to 'CMS' or 'Obalende'. You will then drop at the Adeniji junction or Under-bridge just before the bus reaches its final stop.
The absolute best time to leave is before 6:15 AM. Once it is 7:00 AM, the traffic at Jakande, Marwa, and the Lekki Toll Gate can add an extra 1 to 2 hours to your journey.
Yes, criminal 'one-chance' vehicles operate along the Lekki corridor. To stay safe, avoid boarding unmarked private cars (Kabukabu) pretending to carry passengers at the roadside. Only enter commercial buses at designated bus stops like Ajah, Ikate, or Jakande.
