The image captures a daytime urban street scene in Onitsha, Nigeria. In the immediate foreground, two young Black boys stand facing the camera. The boy on the left wears a white undershirt with a silver crucifix pendant, blue shorts, and an unbuttoned light blue and white checkered uniform shirt, paired with dark open-toe sandals. The boy on the right wears a light blue short-sleeved button-up school uniform shirt with blue collar and epaulets, blue shorts, and light brown closed-toe shoes; he carries a green and white notebook/folder in his left hand and a brown backpack. The asphalt road, textured with small aggregates, extends into the midground. On the left side of the road, a man in a white shirt and light trousers walks away from the camera, carrying a large circular tray on his left arm. On the right side, a dark green/blue van, visibly weathered with "BIG M" painted on its rear and a partially visible license plate beginning "NGT-", is parked or in motion. Other indistinct pedestrians are visible further down the street. The background features multi-story buildings on both sides of the street. On the left, a prominent two-story building with a dark pitched roof, light-colored facade, and balconies with clothes hanging to dry is visible behind a dark metal gate and smaller commercial structures at ground level. On the right, additional multi-story structures display varied architectural styles and states of repair. A tall metallic lattice communication tower stands against the overcast sky in the distant background. Overhead wires are visible crossing the street.
