If you are moving around the Alimosho axis of Lagos State, you have likely heard of Isheri Olofin. It is a very popular residential and commercial hub that connects several major parts of the Lagos Mainland. However, many people often confuse it with "Isheri North" or "Isheri-Opic" located near the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. This guide focuses strictly on Isheri Olofin in Alimosho.
Isheri Olofin is a place known for its calm environment compared to the chaos of central Lagos, yet it is busy enough to have everything you need. Whether you are looking to rent an apartment there or you just want to visit a friend, knowing the right transport routes and the current fare is very important to avoid getting lost or overcharged by bus conductors.
Isheri Olofin is located within the Alimosho Local Government Area (LGA). This is the largest LGA in Lagos State. It is situated along the popular Isheri-Idimu Road. The terrain is mostly flat, and the area is well-connected to other major towns like Egbeda, Idimu, Igando, and Iyana-Iba.
The area is bordered by Idimu to the north and Egbeda to the east. If you are coming from the LASU-Iyana-Iba road, Isheri Olofin is one of the major stops before you get to the Idimu roundabout. It is a strategic location for people working in Ikeja or Oshodi who want to live in a slightly more affordable area.
When you enter a bus going to Isheri Olofin, you will notice several landmarks. The most popular ones include the Isheri Olofin Palace (the seat of the traditional ruler), the various private schools in the area, and the busy markets. The roads are generally paved, though traffic can be "heavy" during morning and evening rush hours because many residents work in central Lagos.
To help you plan your movement, here is a table showing the current fare ranges to Isheri Olofin from different parts of Lagos. Please note that these prices can change depending on the time of day and if it is raining.
| Route | Transport Mode | Fare Range (₦) |
|---|---|---|
| Egbeda to Isheri Olofin | Yellow Bus (Danfo) | ₦300 - ₦500 |
| Iyana-Iba to Isheri Olofin | Yellow Bus (Danfo) | ₦400 - ₦700 |
| Ikeja (Under Bridge) to Isheri Olofin | Danfo / Small Bus (Korope) |
| ₦800 - ₦1,200 |
| Oshodi to Isheri Olofin | Yellow Bus (Danfo) | ₦900 - ₦1,400 |

If you want to "enter bus" heading to Isheri Olofin, these are the best places to find them:
1. Avoid Confusion: Always tell the conductor "Isheri Olofin near Idimu" so they don't think you are going to the Isheri near Berger.
2. Hold Small Change: To avoid "marriage" (where the conductor joins your balance with another passenger), try to hold ₦100 and ₦200 notes.
3. Rush Hour: Between 6:30 AM and 9:00 AM, the traffic towards Egbeda can be bad. Plan to leave early if you have an appointment.
4. Night Travel: The area is generally safe, but it is better to reach your destination before 9:00 PM if you are not familiar with the inner streets.
