Detailed Directions to Isheri Olofin

Getting to Isheri Olofin depends largely on your starting point in Lagos. Here are some common routes and directions:

From Ikeja (Airport, Computer Village, Maryland)

If you're coming from Ikeja, a central hub, you have a few straightforward options:

• **By Danfo (Commercial Bus):** From Ikeja Along, Underbridge, or Computer Village, you can find direct buses going to Egbeda, Iyana-Ipaja, or Igando. If you get a bus going to Egbeda, drop at Egbeda bus stop and then take another short bus ride or a Keke Napep (tricycle) directly to Isheri Olofin. If you get a bus going to Iyana-Ipaja, you can connect to Egbeda from there.
• **By Taxi/Ride-hailing:** A more comfortable and direct option is to use ride-hailing services like Bolt or Uber. Simply set "Isheri Olofin" as your destination.

• **By Danfo:** From the Oshodi terminal (either Mafoluku or the new BRT terminal), look for buses heading to Egbeda or Iyana-Ipaja. If you get one to Egbeda, drop at Egbeda bus stop and take a Keke Napep or another small bus to Isheri Olofin. If you get one to Iyana-Ipaja, you'll need to take another bus or Keke to Egbeda, and then to Isheri Olofin.
• **By BRT (Bus Rapid Transit):** While there isn't a direct BRT route to Isheri Olofin, you can take a BRT from Oshodi to Iyana-Ipaja. From Iyana-Ipaja, you'll then need to use a regular Danfo or Keke Napep to get to Egbeda and then to Isheri Olofin.
