5 Questions you should never ask your partner in bed

You find yourself in the bedroom, clothes coming off and temperature rising…and then someone gets the idea that there couldn’t be a better time for an interview.

We have all been there before, you have finally slaved through the phone calls, long texts, and date. Or you just met in the club and was on the naughty side of drunk. Now you find yourself in the bedroom, clothes coming off and temperature rising…and then someone gets the idea that there couldn’t be a better time for an interview. Here are some questions that are an absolute NO NO in bed.

1. When last did you have sex?

Firstly, why are you even asking this question now? And who in their honest mind would tell you they had sex only twelve hours ago if that were the case? For girls, it is almost standard practice to reply this question in months and not even weeks. Just be happy you’re getting it now and stop asking security questions like government officials.

2. Have you done this before?

Maka why? Seriously? This one come up more during one night stands. For men it isn’t always a big deal, thanks to the societal acceptance of male sexual adventure. For women on the other hand, some will even tell you straight away ‘usually I don’t do this’, which begs the question how frequent is “unusually”. To circumvent this, some women just straight up tell you they have never done this before. Either way, asking anyone if they have done anything sexual before during the act is just a NO NO.

3. Am I the best you’ve ever had?

Bro, you could have stopped at ‘do you like this dick?’ Babe you could have stopped at ‘is this pu ssy good.’ Please in your most sensual voice possible. But you had to make it a JAMB question. To start with, this is a bit of a trick question because the only acceptable answer is an emphatic YES. But on the flip side now the guy/girl is thinking about other great encounters they have had and don’t be surprise if you pale in comparison because the last person didn’t bore them with interview question.

4. So you brought a condom? You came thinking you would get some…
Really….like really? Firstly, everyone should always have raincoat on them if there is even the smallest possibility of sex…and just as a habit you would have one wherever you go. You never know when your hormones would choose to betray you. As a guy I cannot think of any situation that is a bigger turn-off than this most dreaded of question. Can you just be happy at least one of us was thinking about safety here and being a responsible adult. And ladies please, you are just as responsible for your protection as the guy so please add a condom to the list of infinity you stash in your handbags.

5. Is it in yet…

No….JUST NO

Nigeria’s Inflation Drops to 15.10% as NBS Reports Deflationary Trend

Nigeria’s Inflation Drops to 15.10% as NBS Reports Deflationary Trend

Nigeria’s headline inflation rate declined to 15.10 per cent in January 2026, marking a significant drop from 27.61 per cent recorded in January 2025, according to the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) report released by the National Bureau of Statistics.

The report also showed that month-on-month inflation recorded a deflationary trend of –2.88 per cent, representing a 3.42 percentage-point decrease compared to December 2025. Analysts say the development signals easing price pressures across key sectors of the economy.

Food inflation stood at 8.89 per cent year-on-year, down from 29.63 per cent in January 2025. On a month-on-month basis, food prices declined by 6.02 per cent, reflecting lower costs in several staple commodities.

The data suggests a sustained downward trajectory in inflation over the past 12 months, pointing to improving macroeconomic stability.

The administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has consistently attributed recent economic adjustments to ongoing fiscal and monetary reforms aimed at stabilising prices, boosting agricultural output, and strengthening domestic supply chains.

Economic analysts note that while the latest figures indicate progress, sustaining the downward trend will depend on continued policy discipline, exchange rate stability, and improvements in food production and distribution.

The January report provides one of the clearest indications yet that inflationary pressures, which surged in early 2025, may be moderating.

GTBank Launches Quick Airtime Loan at 2.95%

 

Guaranty Trust Bank Ltd (GTBank), the flagship banking franchise of GTCO Plc, Africa’s leading financial services group, today announced the launch of Quick Airtime Loan, an innovative digital solution that gives customers instant access to airtime when they run out of call credit and have limited funds in their bank accounts, ensuring customers can stay connected when it matters most.

 

In today’s always-on world, running out of airtime is more than a minor inconvenience. It can mean missed opportunities, disrupted plans, and lost connections, often at the very moment when funds are tight, and options are limited. Quick Airtime Loan was created to solve this problem, offering customers instant access to airtime on credit, directly from their bank. With Quick Airtime Loan, eligible GTBank customers can access from ₦100 and up to ₦10,000 by dialing *737*90#. Available across all major mobile networks in Nigeria, the service will soon expand to include data loans, further strengthening its proposition as a reliable on-demand platform.

For years, the airtime credit market has been dominated by Telcos, where charges for this service are at 15%. GTBank is now changing the narrative by offering a customer-centric, bank-led digital alternative priced at 2.95%. Built on transparency, convenience and affordability, Quick Airtime Loan has the potential to broaden access to airtime, deliver meaningful cost savings for millions of Nigerians, and redefine how financial services show up in everyday life, not just in banking moments.

Commenting on the product launch, Miriam Olusanya, Managing Director of Guaranty Trust Bank Ltd, said: “Quick Airtime Loan reflects GTBank’s continued focus on delivering digital solutions that are relevant, accessible, and built around real customer needs. The solution underscores the power of a connected financial ecosystem, combining GTBank’s digital reach and lending expertise with the capabilities of HabariPay to deliver a smooth, end-to-end experience. By leveraging unique strengths across the Group, we are able to accelerate innovation, strengthen execution, and deliver a more integrated customer experience across all our service channels.”

Importantly, Quick Airtime Loan highlights GTCO’s evolution as a fully diversified financial services group. Leveraging HabariPay’s Squad, the solution reinforces the Group’s ecosystem proposition by bringing together banking, payment technology, and digital channels to deliver intuitive, one-stop experiences for customers.

With this new product launch, Guaranty Trust Bank is extending its legacy of pioneering digital-first solutions that have redefined customer access to financial services across the industry, building on the proven strength of its widely adopted QuickCredit offering and the convenience of the Bank’s iconic *737# USSD Banking platform.
