"Broda, why are you locking the door?" Jade asked, alarmed. They called the young bachelor 'broda' because none of them knew his real name. Broda smiled shyly as he moved closer to Jade. The way he walked got Jade more alarmed that she stood up from the bed. "I want us to watch a movie together." Broda tried to explain. "Shebi you will watch?" He asked. Jade nodded in a rather confused way. Still with a childish smile on his face, he signaled to Jade to sit. Jade obeyed innocently like Isaac who followed his father without knowing he was to be sacrificed. Broda moved towards the television set. He seemed to have everything in order. With the press of a button, the whole pictures popped up. Jade could not understand what the movie was all about. A man and a woman, both naked, and both screaming. The 'movie' had not even played for a minute when Broda turned to Jade, "are you enjoying the movie?" Jade did not know what to say. She simply gave Broda a 'what-is-this' look. The smile on Broda's face must have sworn never to leave his face, or, maybe it was Broda who swore never to leave the smile. "You will understand it soon." He assured her with the same smile on his face. All of a sudden, the television turned black, and no image displayed on it. The Power Holders ceased the light. Broda's smile vanished immediately, and it was obvious that it was not God that joined Broda and his smile together. He was so disappointed. "Why did this people cease the light now of all times?" He asked himself. He wished he had a generator he could use to continue the 'movie'. Even if he had a generator, getting fuel would have been another issue, because only very few filling stations had fuel. He hated the Power Holders, he hated himself, he hated everything that didn't allow his plan to work out. He knew he would not be bold enough to ask the young girl for sex, and had simply decided to pick the best out of his porn collection to express himself. "Broda, I want to go and wee-wee" Jade declared. Broda sluggishly opened the door. "Will you come back?" He asked with high expectation. Jade nodded strongly, but deep in her heart, she knew she would never step her feet in Broda's room again.
And truly, that was the last time Jade's feet took her to Broda's room. Aside the fact that Jade would never go there again, her brothers encouraged her to leave the house and move in with one of their uncles in another state. "We won't be coming home again, and we can't leave you here." Her eldest brother explained. "We have discussed with uncle, and he said you should come" he added. Jade was not sure of what to think. She didn't know if it was good news or bad news. She had lived in their 2 bedroom flat all her life, and had not spent a night in another house aside the very room allocated to her mother. "No worry. We go dey come visit you." Her elder brother assured her. His voice was thick, and Jade could not help but wonder what was happening to her brothers. They seemed to be changing from who she used to know. "Pack your things. I will take you there tomorrow." Her eldest brother said. The journey was not a stressful one, and on getting there, Jade wondered if truly the man was their uncle. "He is our mother's brother's step-son" Jade was told when she asked her brother. They were welcomed by a young couple who must be in their mid 20s. Jade knelt down, while her brother prostrated. "Get up! Get up!! " The man said. After all introductions and explanation, the man welcomed Jade. "Thank you uncle." Jade said, kneeling again. "Oh! Don't call him 'uncle', call him 'Mr. John'" The wife corrected.

I'll use this opportunity to talk to parents and guardians. Please and please, be vigilant, if you have a young girl under your care, because there are alot of "broda" out there who would not waste a second to defy your innocent girl.
