This image depicts a bustling street scene in a market area of Onitsha, Nigeria, under an overcast sky. In the foreground to the left, a blue vertical poster advertising various hairstyles, with text partially visible as "WOMEN" and "CUT," is attached to a metal stand. Immediately behind it, a large, two-tiered market umbrella (grey on top, purple underneath) shades a vendor stall. Merchandise, including packaged goods and textiles, is piled high on tables or shelves beneath the umbrella. A person, presumably the vendor, is partially visible sitting on a low chair behind the stall, and a red plastic chair is positioned to the right of this vendor. The ground in the immediate foreground and mid-ground is unpaved, consisting of dirt and gravel, with a dark piece of debris and a small green packet of litter visible. Two school-aged children are the central figures, walking from left to right across the mid-ground. The taller child, a pre-teen or early-teen girl, wears a blue and white school uniform consisting of a white short-sleeved top with blue trim, a pleated light blue skirt, white ankle socks, and dark shoes. She carries a blue patterned shoulder bag and looks directly towards the viewer. She holds the right hand of a much younger child, a toddler, who wears a similar blue school uniform: a pleated blue dress with a white collar, white ankle socks, and dark shoes. This younger child carries a small pink backpack and looks towards the right. In the background, beyond the central figures, the street continues to be unpaved. More pedestrians are visible, including a woman in a black top and a patterned black and white skirt carrying a red bag, walking away from the camera. Further down the street, various vehicles, including a white van and a three-wheeled commercial vehicle (keke napep), are present. A utility pole with wires and a loudspeaker attached is visible against the light grey sky on the right side of the background.
