This image depicts an outdoor gathering of four adult women within a residential compound in Akwanga, Nigeria. The scene unfolds on a bare reddish-brown dirt ground with sparse debris, shaded by large, leafy trees, including a prominent mango tree and a palm tree. In the background, a single-story building with a reddish-brown facade and a corrugated metal roof is visible, featuring dark wooden window shutters and doors. A chicken is present near the building's base, and a black motorcycle is partially visible on the far right. Four women are positioned in the midground. On the left, one woman stands facing right, dressed in a loose green long-sleeved top, light blue denim jeans, and brown flip-flops. Her dark hair is styled away from her face. Next to her, a second woman sits on a low wooden stool, facing right, wrapped in an orange and yellow patterned fabric, with pink flip-flops visible near her feet. Her left leg is extended towards a small, rectangular wooden table which holds a black plastic bag and several small containers. To the right, a third woman sits in a blue plastic chair, facing left, wearing a red short-sleeved top and black and white striped slide sandals. A fourth woman stands beside her, facing left, dressed in a green short-sleeved top and a blue and white patterned wrapper, with light brown flip-flops. This standing woman is actively braiding or styling the hair of the seated woman. A second small, rectangular wooden table is positioned between the two seated women, also holding various small bottles or containers. The overall interaction suggests a communal hair styling activity.
