Getting to Ilogbo-Eremi in Badagry requires navigating the bustling Lagos-Badagry Expressway. The primary gateway to this axis from other parts of Lagos is Mile 2.

From Major Lagos Hubs to Mile 2:

If you are coming from central or mainland Lagos, your first step will always be to get to Mile 2.

• From Oshodi: Enter a bus going to Mile 2. These are readily available at the Oshodi Terminal 3 (newly built) or the old Oshodi bus stops.
• From Ikeja (CMS/Underbridge): Enter a bus heading to Mile 2. You'll find these buses at the Ikeja Along bus stop or the General Hospital bus stop.
• From Ojota: Board a bus going to Mile 2. They are usually available at the main Ojota park.
• From CMS/Marina: You can get a bus or commercial minivan (Danfo) directly to Mile 2 from the CMS bus stop.

From Mile 2 to Ilogbo-Eremi:

Once you arrive at Mile 2, you need to locate the bus park specifically for buses heading towards Badagry. There are several transport options available:

1. Direct Buses/Minivans (Danfo): Look for buses with "Badagry," "Agbara," or "Oko-Afo" written on them. It's crucial to confirm with the conductor that they pass through "Ilogbo-Eremi" or "Ilogbo." Some buses might go directly to Badagry town without making many stops, so always ask.

   • Drop-off Point: You will typically drop directly at the Ilogbo-Eremi bus stop, which is a well-known spot along the expressway.
   • Journey Time: Depending on traffic, especially around Orile, Coker, and Agbara, the journey can take anywhere from 1 hour to 2.5 hours or even more during peak periods.

2. Keke Napep (Tricycles) or Okada (Motorcycles): While not ideal for the long stretch from Mile 2, once you are in the vicinity of Ilogbo (e.g., dropped off at Agbara or Oko-Afo by mistake), you can use Keke Napep or Okada for shorter distances to reach specific points within Ilogbo-Eremi.

Key Landmarks Around Ilogbo-Eremi:

• Ilogbo Market: A local market that serves the community and surrounding areas.
• Various Schools and Churches: Common landmarks that residents use for navigation.
• The Lagos-Badagry Expressway: The most prominent landmark, as Ilogbo-Eremi is situated directly along it.

Current Fare Estimates Table

Please note that transport fares in Lagos are dynamic and can change based on fuel prices, time of day (peak vs. off-peak), traffic conditions, and even weather. The ranges provided below are estimates.

Note: Always confirm fares with the driver or conductor before boarding, as prices are subject to change.

Best Departure Points

To get to Ilogbo-Eremi, your most reliable and direct departure point will always be Mile 2 Bus Terminal.

• Mile 2: This is the main hub for all transport heading towards the Badagry axis. At Mile 2, you'll find designated loading bays for buses going to Agbara, Oko-Afo, and Badagry. Make sure to specify "Ilogbo-Eremi" to the conductors or drivers. The area under the bridge and the main bus park at Mile 2 are where you'll find these vehicles.

For those coming from other parts of Lagos, getting to Mile 2 is the first and most crucial step. From major areas like Oshodi, Ikeja, Ojota, and CMS, you will easily find buses heading to Mile 2.

Safety and Travel Tips

Travelling to Ilogbo, like any other part of Lagos, requires a bit of awareness and planning.

1. Plan for Traffic: The Lagos-Badagry Expressway is known for its heavy traffic, especially during peak hours (morning and evening rush). Factor this into your travel time. Weekends and mid-day weekdays might offer slightly lighter traffic.
2. Confirm Fares: Always ask for the fare and confirm your destination (Ilogbo-Eremi) before you board a bus. Don't be shy to negotiate politely if you feel the price is too high, but generally, public transport fares are fairly standard for the route.
3. Hold Your Belongings Securely: Keep your bags and valuables close to you, especially in crowded bus stops and while boarding.
4. Be Aware of Your Surroundings: Stay alert and avoid distractions like engrossing yourself completely in your phone, especially in crowded areas.
5. Charge Your Phone: Ensure your phone is charged for communication or in case you need to use navigation apps.
6. Carry Small Denominations: It's always helpful to have smaller naira notes (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) for bus fares, as conductors sometimes claim not to have change for large denominations.
7. Identify Your Drop-off Point: If you're new to the area, tell the conductor to remind you when you get to "Ilogbo-Eremi bus stop." Look out for landmarks mentioned earlier.

By following these tips, your journey to Ilogbo-Eremi should be smooth and stress-free.
