   • **From Oshodi:** Take a bus going to Mile 2.
   • **From Ikeja:** You might need to take a bus to Oshodi or Cele/Okota first, then connect to Mile 2.
2. **From Mile 2 to Ilogbo Eremi:**
   • At Mile 2, head to the park where buses for Badagry, Agbara, or Oko-Afo load.
   • Enter a bus heading towards Badagry. Make sure to confirm with the conductor that they pass by Ilogbo Eremi or a nearby landmark like Vesper bus stop or Oko-Afo.
