This image depicts an outdoor gathering in Kaduna, Nigeria, featuring four individuals in traditional attire in the foreground, positioned on dry, light-brown earth with sparse grass. From left to right: 1. A woman with dark skin smiles, looking to her right. She wears a white sleeveless top, a dark red patterned wrapper skirt, a red headband, and multiple red and white beaded necklaces. She holds two long, thin wooden poles vertically with her right hand. 2. A second woman with dark skin smiles, looking forward. She wears a white sleeveless top, a dark patterned wrapper, a red headband with "ABKWAKA 2022" printed in white, and red and white beaded necklaces. She holds a bundle of green leafy branches in her left hand and a dark, fibrous whisk in her right. A long, thin wooden pole rests near her right foot. 3. A third woman with dark skin smiles, looking forward. She wears a white sleeveless top, a red and black beaded necklace, and a red headband. A woven basket, containing a red-capped plastic bottle and some fabric, is balanced on her head. She wears a skirt made of green leafy branches over a darker garment and dark sandals. 4. A bare-chested man with dark skin stands on the far right. He wears a light-colored, patterned loincloth with a dark-handled knife tucked into it on his right side. A straw-like or fibrous collar adorns his neck, and a red headband with "ABKWAKA 2022" text is on his head. His right hand is raised to his chin, and he holds a long, thin wooden pole vertically in his left hand. He is barefoot. In the background, to the left, a green and yellow striped flag and a plain white flag are visible on poles. A building with a red corrugated roof and light-colored walls is partially seen. Further left, indistinct figures, including a person in a red shirt, are present. To the right background, a large, leafy green tree stands, with more people visible in the mid-ground, some sitting, suggesting a larger gathering. Another building with a red roof is visible in the far background. The scene is illuminated by bright daylight.
