Hello house,

Please I've been wondering how convenient it would be to finally move to my Ikorodu property with my family after all this time.

At least as an austerity measure to curb rent payment for the next couple of years and focus on more important areas of family life.

1) Do we have people who can share their experience here?
How do you cope with Ikorodu traffic from Monday to Friday?

2) Do you prefer to drive, go on public transport BRT or Danfo?

3) How do you manage to get to work early enough?
The return journey home from work too, how's the experience?

Spouse and i both work on the mainland (Apapa and Ikotun respectively) while we reside around Egbeda.

The Ikorodu house is in the Igbogbo outskirt close to Bayeku.

to be honest.... thats a very tough move moreso ur places of work isn't accessible by waterways dat operates in within ikorodu nd it environs.... however since it's ur property.... my advice is simple get a family or reliable caregiver to stay wit ur kids while u do (Mon_wed) (wed-Friday) u rent a room in a flat or get a family to scout wit during d week while u come home weekends..... I stand to be corrected not abused jus my personal opinion
Cos av worked in dat shoes and I knw it hurts sily...

You didn't state the statistics in your comment.
Growing up in Lagos has molded me to adjust to different environments.
I don't want to consider the bolded as a possible option.

Please nairalanders, your comments and contributions are quite important for this decision.

okay sir God is ur strength

Driving would be cheaper on the long run as both of you will be spending close to 1500/day on transportation to and from work.

If you get a small car like Kia picanto, Hyundai i10, Toyota yaris or civic or golf 3 which are fuel efficient it will assist you. You and your wife just need to leave home early, picking the person to take the car to work and meeting point after closing can be arranged between both of you. Both of you should learn how to drive so Mr A can drive from house and Mrs A will drive back to house.

But the best advice I would give is to only move if the kids have grown and can take themselves to school without supervision or let them school closers to ikorodu
