• **Watch Your Belongings:** Keep an eye on your bags and valuables, especially in crowded buses and markets.
• **Bargain Politely:** For Keke Napep or Okada (motorcycle, where allowed), fares might be negotiable, especially if you're not familiar with the standard price.
• **Be Aware of Traffic:** Ikorodu Road is notorious for traffic, particularly during peak hours (morning and evening rush). Plan your journey to avoid these times if possible.
