This image depicts an outdoor food preparation and vending scene in Jos, Nigeria, illuminated by direct sunlight. In the foreground, a black pot filled with numerous golden-brown items frying in oil rests on a makeshift stove constructed from a metal frame. A large piece of wood serves as fuel, extending from beneath the pot, with ash and charcoal visible on the ground around the stove's base. To the left of the stove, a circular silver tray contains a collection of cooked, round dough items, some broken pieces, and an orange plastic bowl. To the right, a metal colander holding sliced plantain or yam and a black serving spoon is positioned on a colorful, decorated bucket. A woman, wearing a brown hijab and a multi-colored patterned skirt, is seated on the ground behind the frying pot, her gaze directed downwards at a small dark object held in her hands. To her left, a second woman, dressed in a black hijab and a green patterned garment, is seated on a low object, looking towards the central woman with an apparent smile. The immediate environment around the women includes several plastic buckets with colored lids (red, green, white), a smaller pot with a lid atop a green bucket, and a blue bowl. In the background, a substantial pile of clear plastic bottles is visible, adjacent to informal structures made of corrugated metal and fabric. A figure in a red garment is partially visible further in the background. The ground surface is composed of compacted earth and worn concrete sections, exhibiting scattered debris and shadows.
