The signage for "Darling" hair products and the specific style of the utility poles and transformers strongly suggest a West African urban environment. The "Job" advertisement with a phone number format and the general architectural style point toward Nigeria. The dense, somewhat chaotic overhead wiring is characteristic of many Nigerian cities. I suspect this is in a busy district of Lagos. I am moderately sure about the country but less so about the specific neighborhood.

The sign for "Emas Bar" advertising "Fresh Fish Pepper soup" is a very common sight in Nigeria. The Tropics beer advertisement and the specific style of the building architecture confirm the West African setting. The phone number format on the sign is consistent with Nigerian mobile providers. I am now quite confident this is within a residential or commercial area of Lagos. I will proceed with a guess based on the urban density observed.
