In Bukuru, Nigeria, a young Black male walks across a paved road carrying a large, dark grey, woven bag filled with what appears to be refuse or recyclables over his left shoulder. He is wearing a horizontally striped long-sleeved shirt with a hood, red shorts, and flip-flops. To his left, a green and yellow auto-rickshaw, also known as a "Keke Napep" or "Marwa", is parked at the side of the road. Inside the auto-rickshaw, a person wearing an orange and black patterned shirt is visible. Another Black male, wearing a patterned brown and white outfit and a dark cap, walks away from the auto-rickshaw towards the left, carrying a black backpack. In the background, a white building with numerous windows is present. To the right of the auto-rickshaw, a Black female wearing a colorful patterned wrap is standing, and further to the right, a Black male in a green and black striped shirt is visible. A pile of debris and what looks like discarded items is situated on the curb behind the people on the right. The scene is illuminated by bright sunlight, casting shadows on the road.
