Getting to Onike from Major Lagos Hubs

Here’s how you can typically get to Onike from some key locations in Lagos:

From Lagos Island (CMS, Marina, Obalende)

If you are coming from Lagos Island, such as CMS, Marina, or Obalende, you will need to enter a bus going to Yaba. These buses usually pass through the Third Mainland Bridge or Eko Bridge, dropping passengers at Yaba Terminus or Sabo. From Yaba Terminus or Sabo, you can easily find another short bus ride or a Keke Napep going directly to Onike. The journey might involve dropping at Yabatech gate or Onike bus stop directly.

From Ikeja and Environs (Maryland, Ojota)

From Ikeja, Maryland, or Ojota, you should look for buses heading towards Yaba or Fadeyi. Many buses from these areas go directly to Yaba. Once you get to Yaba Terminus or Sabo, you can then take a Keke Napep or another short Danfo ride to Onike. Some buses might go directly to Fadeyi, from where Onike is just a few minutes away by bus or Keke.

From Oshodi

Oshodi is a major interchange. From Oshodi, you can easily enter a bus going directly to Yaba. These buses typically pass through Anthony or Fadeyi. When you get to Yaba Terminus, Sabo, or Fadeyi, you can then take a local bus or Keke Napep to Onike. Ensure you confirm the destination with the driver or conductor.

From other parts of Yaba (Sabo, Akoka)

If you are already in Yaba, getting to Onike is straightforward. From Sabo, it's a very short walk, a quick Keke Napep ride, or a Danfo ride. From Akoka (especially around UNILAG), Onike is just a few minutes away by Keke Napep or Danfo, often passing through the UNILAG main gate axis.

• **Stay Hydrated**: Lagos weather can be hot. Carry water, especially if you anticipate a long journey or walking.
