Oyingbo is one of the oldest and busiest commercial hubs in Lagos State. If you have lived in Lagos for a while, you must have heard about the famous Oyingbo Market. It is a place where people from all over the state come to buy foodstuff, clothes, and household items at wholesale prices. Because of its location, Oyingbo serves as a major link between the Lagos Mainland and the Island areas like Lagos Island, Ikoyi, and Victoria Island.
Whether you are a trader looking to stock up your shop or a commuter trying to navigate your way through the heart of Lagos, Oyingbo is a place you cannot avoid. It is always bubbling with energy, from the loud voices of conductors shouting "Oyingbo-Iddo!" to the heavy movement of trucks carrying goods. In this guide, we will break down where Oyingbo is located, how to get there, and what to expect regarding transport fares.
Oyingbo is located within the Lagos Mainland Local Government Area (LGA). It is situated in the Ebute Metta axis, making it a neighbor to areas like Yaba, Iddo, and Alagomeji. The terrain is mostly flat, but because it is close to the Lagos Lagoon, some parts can get quite busy and congested during the rainy season.
Oyingbo is bordered by the Iddo terminal to the south, which leads directly to the Eko Bridge. To the north, it links up with Yaba via the Herbert Macaulay Way. It is a very strategic location because it sits right at the foot of the bridges that connect the Mainland to the Island.
Getting to Oyingbo is relatively easy because it is a central point. If you are coming from Oshodi, you can enter a direct bus (Danfo) or take the BRT heading towards Oyingbo/Iddo. If you are coming from the Island (CMS or Obalende), you just need to cross the Eko Bridge, and your first major "drop" after the bridge is Oyingbo.
For those coming from the Yaba axis, Oyingbo is just a straight drive down from Tejuosho or Yaba Left. You can even take a Keke (tricycle) from Yaba straight to the Oyingbo market entrance. The area is also well-connected for those coming from Surulere via Costain.
