This image depicts a Pillars Energy gas station in Onitsha, Nigeria, following a significant inundation event. The foreground and midground of the gas station forecourt are covered by a layer of murky, brown standing water, approximately ankle-deep in places, indicative of heavy rainfall or flooding. Numerous pieces of urban debris, including plastic bags, papers, and various unidentifiable items, are scattered across the wet pavement and partially submerged. Two metal grates, possibly storm drains, are visible in the saturated ground, both appearing to be partially clogged with refuse. The gas station features a prominent white canopy supported by red and blue pillars. Beneath the canopy, multiple Pillars Energy fuel pumps, labeled "PMS 30" (Premium Motor Spirit), are visible. A white building with dark windows stands behind the pumps. To the far left, a "COOKING GAS" station is present, identifiable by a large white tank and red piping. Three individuals are observed in the scene. One person stands near a fuel pump in the center-left, facing right. Another individual is partially visible walking near the "COOKING GAS" structure on the far left. A third person is seated inside the cab of a white, single-cab pickup truck, which is positioned at a fuel pump on the right. A darker vehicle is partially visible behind the pickup truck. A bicycle leans against a fuel pump on the left. In the background, multi-story buildings of varying colors, predominantly brown and beige, are visible under an overcast sky, suggesting post-rain conditions. The overall scene conveys a state of disarray and operational disruption due to the water and debris.
