In Barakin Akawo, Nigeria, a young individual stands outdoors, holding a small Nigerian flag aloft. The subject, wearing a dark blue long-sleeved shirt, olive-green trousers, and a blue and black backpack featuring a yellow cartoon design on a side pocket, extends their right arm vertically, grasping the flag on a white stick. The flag displays the green-white-green vertical bands with the national coat of arms in the central white band. The subject's gaze is directed forward and slightly to the right. The immediate ground is dry, reddish-brown earth, uneven and showing depressions. To the subject's right, a fluted column supports a light-colored, possibly corrugated, roof overhang. A blue and white striped plant pot containing a small plant is positioned near the base of this column. The background includes a large tree with dense green foliage under a clear blue sky. To the left, a discarded tire and various masonry elements are visible. To the right, an orange-brown building wall with a white-framed window is present.
