The image depicts an outdoor scene in Kubwa, Nigeria. In the foreground, a dark-skinned adult male, wearing a plaid vest over a grey short-sleeved shirt and dark trousers, stands barefoot, focused on sharpening a long, dark bladed tool, possibly a machete. He holds the tool with both hands, presenting it to a portable, engine-driven sharpening machine. This machine, comprising a beige-topped gasoline engine connected by a belt to a rotating grinding mechanism, is placed on a wooden plank, which rests on a stack of four black, used vehicle tires. To the lower left, a concrete culvert or drainage structure is filled with various discarded items, including numerous plastic bags, paper, and a section of a red and white Coca-Cola banner, amidst sparse weeds and dry grass. The ground throughout the scene is unpaved, dusty, and uneven. In the background, a light-colored, single-story building with two open doorways serves as a commercial storefront, displaying various goods on tables or stands. Two figures are partially visible inside this shop, one wearing a light-colored head covering. To the right of this building, a small tree with green foliage partially obscures a silver hatchback car, which is parked facing away from the viewer. A tall, light-colored utility pole is visible on the far left, and a building with a distinctive green, pointed metal roof is present in the distant background to the right.
