The scene depicts a roadside gathering in Onitsha, Nigeria, under an overcast sky. In the foreground, an asphalt road with a dirt shoulder occupies the lower third of the frame; a small piece of white and red litter is visible on the asphalt. Along the paved shoulder, approximately ten individuals, primarily women and children, are present. On the left, a woman in a green, brown, and yellow patterned dress stands with her left hand on her hip, facing right. A small child in a light pink dress and red sandals stands near her. Towards the center, a woman in a patterned blue and red garment is seated, holding an infant. Another child in a red top stands nearby, appearing to eat. A child in a white t-shirt and dark shorts is seated on the ground in the immediate foreground of this group, facing right. Further right, a person with very light skin (possibly albinism) wearing a dark, camouflage-patterned top is seated. Adjacent to this group, a makeshift market stall is visible, constructed from what appear to be concrete blocks or rough lumber, topped with a surface displaying various items, including green plantains or similar produce. A light green plastic bag rests on the stall. A woman in a pink t-shirt and dark pants stands behind the stall, facing left, with her arms raised as if gesturing or engaged in conversation. To her right, a man with his back to the viewer wears a blue and white patterned shirt and dark shorts, with one hand on the back of his head. In the background, a weathered concrete wall, mottled with grey and white patches, is topped with barbed wire secured to thin metal poles. Behind this wall, a light-colored, multi-story building with multiple windows and security bars is visible. A dark utility pole stands vertically on the far right of the frame. Green grass and sparse vegetation grow along the base of the concrete wall.
