A young child stands in an outdoor area in Lekki, Nigeria. The child, of apparent African descent, has short dark hair and wears a red sleeveless top with a gold emblem, paired with dark blue shorts. The child holds a folded white sheet of lined paper in their right hand. A gold-colored earring is present in the visible left earlobe. Dark footwear covers the child's right foot. A pair of pink rubber slides and a partial orange slipper are positioned on the light-colored, interlocking paved ground to the left and rear of the child. The background features an unpainted, textured light-gray concrete wall. Various articles of clothing, including dark garments, a checkered fabric, and a patterned fabric, are suspended from a clothesline against the wall. A blue plastic chair and a white sheet of paper are discernible on the ground against the wall on the left. Minimal green vegetation is present at the wall's base.
