From Ikeja (Computer Village, Allen Avenue, Opebi)

Ikeja, being the state capital and a major commercial hub, also offers good connectivity to Abaranje. If you're coming from areas like Computer Village, Allen Avenue, or Ikeja Under Bridge:

Your primary goal is to get a direct bus to **Ikotun**. Buses to Ikotun are available at key bus stops in Ikeja, such as Ikeja Under Bridge (by the railway crossing) or near Computer Village. The journey to Ikotun from Ikeja can also range from 1 to 2 hours, depending heavily on the traffic situation on routes like the LASU-Iba Road or the Igando road network.

Upon reaching Ikotun, just like from Oshodi, you will connect with a Keke Napep or a smaller bus going to **Ijegun/Abaranje**. These are easy to find around the Ikotun bus stop or market area.

From Yaba/CMS/Lagos Island

If you're starting your journey from the Island or central mainland areas like Yaba, you'll likely need to make a connection at a major hub:

From Yaba or CMS, enter a bus heading to **Oshodi**. This is a straightforward route. From Oshodi, you will then follow the instructions mentioned above: take a bus to Ikotun, and then a Keke Napep or smaller bus to Abaranje.

Alternatively, from some parts of Yaba, you might find buses directly to Ikotun, but these are less common than those to Oshodi. Always confirm the destination with the bus conductor before boarding.

From Egbeda/Igando

Since Egbeda and Igando are relatively closer to Abaranje within the Alimosho LGA, the journey is often more direct:

From Egbeda or Igando, you can often find direct Keke Napep or smaller buses (Korope) heading towards **Ikotun via Ijegun**. Ensure the bus or Keke explicitly states "Ijegun" or "Abaranje" as part of its route. This journey is typically shorter, ranging from 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the exact starting point and traffic.

Best Departure Points for Abaranje

• Oshodi Bus Terminal: This is arguably the most connected hub in Lagos. You will easily find buses heading to Ikotun from here.

Safety and Travel Tips

Traveling in Lagos, especially to new areas, requires some practical tips to ensure a smooth and safe journey:

1. Confirm Fares: Always ask for the fare before you enter the bus or Keke Napep. This prevents misunderstandings or overcharging.
2. Travel During Daylight: For your first few trips to Abaranje, it's advisable to travel during the day. This allows you to familiarise yourself with the route and surroundings.
3. Be Aware of Your Surroundings: Lagos is a busy city. Keep an eye on your belongings, especially in crowded bus stops and markets.
4. Use Reputable Transport: Stick to the yellow commercial buses (Danfo) and registered Keke Napeps. Avoid private vehicles offering rides unless they are ride-hailing services you've booked.
5. Traffic Awareness: Lagos traffic can be unpredictable. Factor in extra travel time, especially during rush hours (morning and evening weekdays).
6. Ask for Directions: Don't hesitate to ask locals for directions if you're unsure. Most Lagosians are helpful. When asking, specify "Abaranje" or "Ijegun" as they are closely linked.
