An outdoor cooking scene is depicted in Lokoja, Nigeria

An outdoor cooking scene is depicted in Lokoja, Nigeria. A large, blackened metal pot containing a reddish-brown stew with visible chunks is positioned over an open wood fire. The pot rests on three irregularly shaped rocks, serving as an improvised cooking tripod. Flames are visible at the base of the pot. The ground surface is an uneven mixture of concrete and dirt, exhibiting signs of spills and moisture. Several discarded seasoning sachets are scattered on the ground near the fire, and more are contained within a transparent plastic bucket with a blue handle to the right. A dark wooden plank lies on the ground to the left of the fire. Against a light-colored, weathered wall, which shows significant peeling paint and discoloration, a shadow is cast from an unseen overhead object. To the upper right, a pile of assorted debris includes fabric scraps and green plant matter. In the lower left foreground, a smaller metal pot with two handles contains a wooden or metal ladle. Further to the right of the main cooking pot, another large, dark metal pot, possibly stained or burnt, contains a white substance, likely food residue. No individuals are present in the frame. The scene is illuminated by bright daylight.
