Twinned with Lagos
12 of 22 in this atlas
Lagos maintains formal twinning ties spanning several continents, from Belo Horizonte and Rio de Janeiro in Brazil to Brussels, Bucharest, Cairo, Fukuoka, Jaipur, Maputo, Port of Spain, and Tbilisi. Most of these pairings are mutually declared, though Istanbul and Taipei each name Lagos as a partner without the connection being confirmed in return, illustrating the independent nature of such municipal declarations.

2 of these do not list Lagos back. Twinning is declared independently by each municipality, so one-sided pairs are common — and usually more interesting than the mutual ones.
