This image depicts an outdoor cooking and informal gathering area in Jos, Nigeria, under direct sunlight, likely morning or late afternoon given the lighting angle. The scene features a rudimentary shelter with a dark, corrugated metal roof supported by wooden posts. Its left side is partially enclosed by reddish-brown corrugated metal sheets. The interior back wall of the shelter is dark and appears stained, with a plain wooden bench fixed against it. On the ground beneath the shelter, an open wood fire is actively burning. A black pot and another metal container are positioned directly over the flames, with a metal sieve resting on top of one of the vessels. Nearby, a red plastic bucket, a grey metal bucket, and a green plastic basin containing liquid are arranged on the dirt ground. In the foreground, a large black plastic basin, inverted and containing a white, possibly liquid or paste substance, rests on the ground, which is a mix of dirt and cracked concrete, with small puddles of water visible around the basin and elsewhere. A large, angular rock is situated to the left of the black basin. Two individuals, appearing young, are partially visible behind the reddish-brown corrugated metal barrier on the left side of the frame; one wears a light blue shirt. Inside the shelter, on the wooden bench, an adult male is seated, facing towards the left. He is wearing a yellow long-sleeved shirt, light blue jeans, and dark shoes. Behind the primary structure, another building with light-colored walls is visible in the background.
