This image captures a bustling outdoor market scene in Onitsha, Nigeria. In the foreground, a woman with prominent light-brown braided hair, wearing a black sleeveless top and a long black and off-white tie-dye patterned skirt, is seen from behind, slightly turned to her right, drinking from a clear plastic water bottle. A thin gold chain strap is visible on her right shoulder. To her right, a second woman, facing partially left, wears a vibrant, multicolored patterned dress and flip-flops. She holds a purple plastic bag open with her left hand, appearing to examine or manipulate its contents, while her right hand is inside the bag. She carries several other bags, including a clear plastic one, over her left arm. Between these two figures and slightly behind the first woman, a low display contains various small packaged goods, including cosmetics or medications, arranged in a purple woven basket. Further into the background, several market stalls are visible under large pink umbrellas, showcasing various goods, including packaged food items. In the mid-ground on the right, a white commercial van or bus has its rear door open, with an individual partially visible inside, suggesting loading or unloading activity. The dusty, unpaved ground features scattered plastic debris. Multi-story concrete buildings with windows and balconies line the street in the distant background, under bright daylight conditions.
