INT. NIMAH’S SITTING ROOM- EVENING
FARUK AUDU, JAMIN and AKEEM sit on the mat in living room with plates before them. NIMAH brings more plates of soup and place it before them. She sees Jamin staring at her
NIMAH
What is it Jamin?
JAMIN
Aren’t you feeling heat with what you are wearing? I mean there is no electricity too
FARUK AUDU
This is the way a woman should always dress, why will she feel heat?
JAMIN
With due respect, I was asking my sister?
NIMAH
Jamin, I am fine. You should eat
JAMIN
Join us then, let eat together
FARUK AUDU
A woman is supposed to eat after we men are done eating
NIMAH
Jamin, I will eat later
Jamin looks frustrated
JAMIN
How can you…..
NIMAH
How was school today?
FARUK AUDU
How dare you question him?
Jamin opens his mouth in surprise
NIMAH
Jamin, I am sorry
JAMIN
Why are you telling me sorry? You have every right to question me
FARUK AUDU
No she does not, women are not meant to question us
JAMIN
That might be your own ideology but baba and mama told me to give my elder sister all the respect and honour due to her, even our holy Quran told us to always respect our elders. So sister, school was fine today. My friend promised to help me look into getting a house close to school, I strongly believe that I will get my own place before this month ends
NIMAH
Okay then
Jamin stands up in frustration
FARUK AUDU
Jamin where are you going?
JAMIN
I lost my appetite
He walks out, Nimah follows him
EXT. A COMPOUND IN LAGOS-EVENING
NIMAH
Come in and eat Jamin
JAMIN
When did you become this?
NIMAH
Become what?
JAMIN
A man’s plaything
NIMAH
That is what happens when you get married
JAMIN
No, mama is not like this, Baba never turned Mama to this, you know that. You ruled both men and boys back in Zaria, I can’t believe you let a man turn you to this
NIMAH
You should come in and eat
JAMIN
I said I lost my appetite
He walks out of the compound
