This image captures an active, informal commercial area in Okene, Kogi State, Nigeria, under a bright, hazy sky. The ground predominantly consists of reddish-brown dirt and gravel, with dark stains visible, leading to a paved road segment in the lower left. A large, white billboard advertising "MUBARAK MODEL ACADEMY ESE NURSERY, PRIMARY COLLEGE, P.O Box 391, Okene, Kogi State," and stating "WAEC & NECO APPROVED CENTRE," is centrally located, mounted on two weathered wooden utility poles. Multiple other wooden utility poles with overhead power lines are visible throughout the frame. A modern solar-powered street light pole stands to the left of the billboard. Behind the billboard, a series of informal, single-story structures with corrugated metal roofs and walls line the dirt path. One structure exhibits a light blue paint finish, while others appear to be raw metal or darker materials, with a white sheet or tarp hanging from one. Dense green foliage from large trees forms the background above these structures, with distant hills visible to the left. Multiple individuals are present across the scene. Near the informal shops, a person in a maroon full-body garment stands beside a gold-colored motorcycle parked upright. Several other individuals, including one in a black garment and a man in a patterned shirt, are congregated near the shop entrances. On the left side of the dirt path, further individuals are visible, some near motorcycles. In the lower right foreground, a heavily damaged teal and blue sedan is parked, facing towards the left. The vehicle shows significant rust, missing its passenger-side front fender and parts of the bumper. Its front license plate is present but partially obscured. Another motorcycle is partially visible further down the dirt path on the left.
