A young boy walks on an unpaved, reddish-brown dirt path in a residential area of Jos, Nigeria. He is seen in a three-quarter profile, facing right, with a neutral expression. He wears a multi-striped long-sleeved shirt, olive green trousers, and brown open-toed sandals. A dark-colored backpack is slung over his left shoulder, with a red-capped plastic bottle visible beneath the strap near his chest. He holds a light-colored, rectangular object in both hands. The foreground path contains scattered small debris. To the boy's left, a mound of excavated earth is present, behind which a partially constructed cinder block wall stands. In the mid-ground, a group of approximately five to seven individuals is congregated near a building. The background features a densely packed residential area with numerous single-story structures constructed from concrete blocks, displaying various roof types including corrugated metal and flat. Sparse, dry vegetation and trees are visible across the landscape. The sky is uniformly overcast.
