This image depicts an active open-air market stall in Akokwa, Nigeria. In the foreground, a person with dark skin, wearing a patterned skirt and a dark top, is seen from behind, holding an orange plastic bucket and pouring a light-colored granular substance into a white sack resting on a black crate. To the left of the central market stall, two adult males with dark skin are standing, smiling, and looking towards the right; one wears a black t-shirt with a white graphic, and the other wears a green t-shirt and a black baseball cap. The central market stall consists of a rough-hewn wooden table laden with various goods. These include multiple large sacks filled with produce (some yellow woven, some white plastic, some blue), clear plastic bottles containing beverages (water and soda), smaller packaged items hanging from lines above the stall, and open bowls displaying food items, including what appears to be dried fish or meat. A hand-cranked grinder with a green plastic bowl is present on the table. On the right side of the image, partially obscured by the market goods, an older woman with dark skin in a patterned dress looks towards the left. Another individual is partially visible on the far right. The ground is unpaved, consisting of reddish-brown earth. A yellow plastic jerrycan rests on the ground next to the market table. The background reveals a cluttered market environment with corrugated metal sheets, tarpaulins, and stacked merchandise, consistent with a busy, informal commercial area.
