The scene depicts an outdoor gathering of five adult males in an unpaved area in Akwanga, Nigeria. The ground is reddish-brown dirt with scattered small rocks and debris. Four of the five men are shirtless, revealing muscular physiques. In the left foreground, a muscular man with dark skin stands facing right, wearing loose-fitting patterned trousers with vertical black, orange, white, and yellow geometric designs, and light brown sandals. His hands are clasped at waist level. To his right, another shirtless, muscular man in white shorts with blue side stripes and grey athletic shoes, wearing black wrist wraps, faces left. He appears to be interacting with the man in patterned trousers. To the right of the man in white shorts, a third muscular man stands facing left, wearing loose-fitting reddish-brown patterned trousers with a black and white zebra-like design, and grey sandals. He wears a white cowrie shell necklace. Behind the man in patterned trousers, a fourth shirtless, muscular man is partially visible, wearing patterned bottoms and sandals. A fifth man in a blue shirt is visible on the far left, partially obscured. Homemade weightlifting equipment is present on the ground. To the left, a metal stand supports multiple dark square weights and a circular metal component. To the right, two barbells made from round, rough-hewn concrete weights attached to metal rods are visible; one stands upright near the foot of the man in reddish-brown trousers, and another lies horizontally on the ground further right. In the background, single-story structures with weathered walls (some appearing as exposed mud-brick or rendered, one with a partial collapse) and corrugated metal roofs are visible. Against the rightmost building, several large, grey/blue woven bags (possibly cement or charcoal sacks) are stacked. A tall, slender papaya tree and banana leaves are visible in the background against a clear sky. The scene is illuminated by bright daylight.
