LagosMove publishes free travel and transport guides for people moving in, around and out of Lagos. This page explains who runs the site, how each guide is researched, how we correct mistakes, and how to reach the desk. It also sets out what we do and do not take money for.
- Chiekezie Magnus Ezeokenwa is the founder, owner and CEO of LagosMove. Sylvia Johnson is Senior Researcher and Editor and signs off every guide.
- Our guides name an author and show a last updated date. Where a fare, address or rule is unconfirmed, the guide says so in plain words.
- LagosMove does not sell tickets, take bookings or run transport. We cannot change a fare, refund a ticket or chase a bus for you.
- Advertising is kept separate from editorial. Advertisers do not decide what we publish, and payment does not buy a mention or a favourable review.
- Send corrections to lagosmove1@gmail.com or call +234 707 653 0483. We reply to factual corrections within three working days.
Who owns LagosMove
LagosMove.com.ng is an independent Nigerian travel and transport publication, owned by Chiekezie Magnus Ezeokenwa. The site is based in Victoria Island, Lagos, and has published free guides for over two years.
It is not owned by a transport company, airline, hotel group, visa agency or booking platform. No operator holds a stake in it. The site runs on display advertising, and operators do not pay LagosMove for a listing, a mention or a link.
| Role | Name | What the role covers |
|---|---|---|
| Founder, Owner and CEO | Chiekezie Magnus Ezeokenwa | Owns the business, sets what the site covers, answers for funding, legal compliance and final decisions on complaints |
| Senior Researcher and Editor | Sylvia Johnson | Plans the guides, checks sources, edits the copy, rules on accuracy disputes and approves publication |
Chiekezie Magnus Ezeokenwa is a passionate website developer and researcher. He founded LagosMove to help Lagosians, Nigerians and visitors get up to date, refreshed information and practical assistance on the topics this site covers.
He built LagosMove to fill a gap. Articles that are left online without research and are never updated are dangerous and frustrating for readers, so our guides are researched and refreshed from time to time. He holds the commercial and legal responsibility for the site, and he plans to announce other projects on this site soon.
Sylvia Johnson is the senior researcher and editor. Chiekezie chose her for her depth and strength in the topics this site covers: business logistics in Lagos, courier and delivery services, freight and shipping, Lagos airport and flights from Lagos, Lagos travel guides, LagosMove news updates, things to do in Lagos, transportation in Lagos, travel from Lagos, and where to stay in Lagos. She builds each guide from operator and regulator sources, then writes the fare ranges and the “confirm before you pay” checks that run through the site. Her byline appears on the guide she edited, and she is the person who answers a correction.
How a guide gets from a question to a published page
Six steps run behind every article on the site.
| Step | What happens | Who does it |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Choose the question | Pick a question readers actually ask, such as a park address, a fare band or a border rule | Editor |
| 2. Check the primary source | Read the operator’s own website, verified phone line, published schedule or notice | Researcher |
| 3. Cross-check | Confirm against a second independent source: a regulator page, an airport or terminal notice, or a second official channel | Researcher |
| 4. Write | Set out the answer first, then the ranges, the exceptions and the checks a reader should make before paying | Researcher |
| 5. Edit and sign off | Test every claim against a saved source, check links, set the byline and update date | Editor |
| 6. Review | Recheck fares, addresses, hours and rules, then re-date the page when it changes | Editor |
What we treat as a source, and what we don’t
The sources we treat as primary are official operator websites and verified phone lines, government and regulator pages, airport and terminal notices, and published timetables. Examples include the Federal Road Safety Corps for road safety rules and the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority for air travel.
News reports, social media posts, forum threads and old blog posts are treated as leads. They tell us where to look. They do not settle a fact on their own.
A name is not proof. If a business still appears on a directory but its own site now describes another city, we report both and say which one is confirmed. Our Yellow Plate Lagos page is an example: old listings point to Victoria Island, the company’s own site describes an Abuja business, and the page says so instead of choosing the tidier story.
What LagosMove does not publish
The rules below are fixed, whatever a page might gain in traffic.
- No invented reviews, testimonials or star ratings.
- No claim that we tested a service, rode a bus or visited a place unless a named member of the desk did.
- No promises about visa approval, safety or a fixed price. We report what a rule says, not what we hope it means.
- No copied contact lists, scraped articles or rewritten competitor pages.
- No content that targets children, promotes betting or adult services, or gives medical or legal advice.
- No misleading headlines. A headline should match what the article delivers.
For visa and border topics, the guide names the authority that sets the rule and tells you to confirm with that authority or its embassy before you pay for anything. Our Maldives visa guide for Nigerians follows that pattern.
Why fares and prices are ranges, not quotes
Transport prices in Nigeria move with fuel, season, demand and the operator. A fare printed in a guide can be wrong within weeks.
So the guides give a planning range, a date and the channel that quoted it. They do not present a range as a quote, and LagosMove cannot honour a price. Before you pay, confirm the fare, the departure park and the boarding point with the operator directly. Our Lagos bus fares guide and the interstate bus booking guide show how that is written.
Corrections, updates and right of reply
We get things wrong sometimes, and the fix should be easy for you.
- Email lagosmove1@gmail.com with the page link and the exact sentence you believe is wrong.
- Add your source, or say what you know first hand and when. A phone call, a notice board photo or an official page is enough.
- We check it within three working days and reply either way.
- If we were wrong, we correct the page, update the date and add a short correction note at the foot of the article saying what changed.
- If we were right, we say why, and we rewrite the sentence if it gave the wrong impression.
We do not quietly delete a factual error. Corrections stay visible. A business named on the site can ask for a right of reply, and we will publish its position or the corrected detail.
How we use software and AI tools
We use software, including AI writing and research assistants, for limited jobs: transcription, first drafts of sections, tidy-up of grammar, and checking that a page reads clearly.
A named human editor still checks each factual claim against a source before a guide publishes, and the byline names that editor. We do not publish unchecked machine text about fares, addresses, visa rules or safety. AI does not choose our conclusions and does not sign off a page.
Advertising, sponsorship and independence
Display ads appear on LagosMove pages. They are served by Google and other ad networks under the Google Publisher Policies and the AdSense Program Policies. Google’s systems choose which advertisers appear, within the policies above.
What that means in practice:
- We aim to keep ads separate from our text, including fare tables and safety warnings. The ad network controls placement, so we cannot promise a fixed layout.
- An editor can ask for an ad slot to be removed from a page. An advertiser cannot ask for a sentence to be changed.
- LagosMove does not sell tickets or take commission on bookings. If that ever changes, this page will say so and the affected guide will carry a clear disclosure above the link.
- No sponsored guide is published as independent editorial. Any paid partnership would be labelled at the top of the page.
Google does not require a page like this before it serves ads. We publish it because a reader deciding whether to trust a fare guide deserves to know who wrote it, who pays for the site and whom to complain to.
Comments, privacy and your data
Where comments are open, we do not publish anonymous reviews of transport companies, and we do not edit a comment to change its meaning. We remove comments that name a private person, share a personal phone number or make an unproven criminal claim.
Our privacy policy explains what the site collects and how to ask for it to be deleted. The terms and conditions and the disclaimer set out the limits of the information we publish.

Email is best for anything with a document, a link or a photo attached. Call if a page is live and wrong right now.
The desk cannot help with bookings, refunds, lost luggage or ticket changes. Take those to the operator or the airline directly. Where we can, the guide gives you the operator’s own contact channel, as in our Lagos transport directory.
If you are new to the site, start with the Lagos transport safety guide, the guide to getting around Lagos or the guide to travelling from Lagos to other states. Each one follows the checking process described on this page.
