In Shendam, Nigeria, an outdoor scene captures a portion of a building with a corrugated metal roof and a brown, stucco-like exterior. To the left, a wall features a mural depicting two gas cylinders and text that reads "DANGNAAN COOKING GAS VENTURE" along with a phone number, "07030057657070342, 08063832".

In front of the building, a simple wooden bench sits on a patch of overgrown grass. To the right of the building, a large, dark green metal machine with a slatted base is positioned on a dirt and gravel ground. The machine appears to be a piece of industrial equipment. Further to the right, a pale pink building with a grey metal roof is partially visible, and a person in a red and white striped shirt can be seen inside a dark opening, possibly a window or doorway. The ground in the foreground is a mixture of compacted dirt and gravel, with scattered patches of dry grass and small green plants. The sky above is clear with a few wispy clouds.
