The image depicts a roadside scene in Lekki, Nigeria, characterized by ongoing construction alongside active pedestrian and vehicular traffic. In the foreground, the perspective is from a low vantage point, showing the upper back and head of an individual covered in dark green fabric, positioned on an expanse of light brown sandy earth. This sandy area, likely from excavation, contains scattered debris including plastic and dark, crumpled material. A deep trench, approximately two meters wide, runs parallel to the road in the mid-ground. The trench's interior features visible metal rebar, indicating active construction or infrastructure work. A temporary pedestrian bridge, constructed from two wooden planks, spans this trench, connecting the sandy area to the paved roadside. On the paved road, two white vans are prominent. A white commercial van, possibly a Toyota Hiace, with "LAGOS" written on its front bumper, is on the left. On the right, a white passenger van with a green stripe along its side is partially visible. Several other vehicles are discernible in the background, suggesting a busy street. Multiple individuals are present near the vehicles and trench. An individual wearing an orange or red top is bent over, attending to several white plastic bags and a large sack of goods positioned on the ground next to the right-side white van. Standing nearby, a man in a grey traditional outfit is positioned near the temporary bridge, while another man in a blue and white striped shirt observes the bent-over individual. A woman in a blue and white striped dress is seen walking past the front commercial van. Another person is partially obscured behind the man in grey. The background reveals indistinct commercial buildings and utility poles under an overcast sky.
