Fidel Castro, Cuba's former president and leader of the Communist revolution, has died aged 90, his brother has said.

"The commander in chief of the Cuban revolution died at 22:29 hours this evening (03:29 GMT Saturday)," President Raul Castro said.

Fidel Castro ruled Cuba as a one-party state for almost 50 years before Raul took over in 2008.

His supporters said he had given Cuba back to the people. But he was also accused of suppressing opposition.

Ashen and grave, President Castro told the nation in an unexpected late night broadcast on state television that Fidel Castro had died and would be cremated on Saturday.

There would now be several days of national mourning on the island.

Raul Castro ended the announcement by shouting the revolutionary slogan: "Towards victory, always!"

Barring the occasional newspaper column, Fidel Castro had essentially been retired from political life for some time, the BBC's Will Grant in Havana reports.

In April, Fidel Castro gave a rare speech on the final day of the country's Communist Party congress.

He acknowledged his advanced age but said Cuban communist concepts were still valid and the Cuban people "will be victorious".

"I'll soon be 90," the former president said, adding that this was "something I'd never imagined".

"Soon I'll be like all the others, "to all our turn must come," Fidel Castro said.

Castro temporarily handed over power to his brother in 2006 as he was recovering from an acute intestinal ailment.

Raul Castro officially became president two years later.

Throughout the Cold War, Fidel Castro was Washington's bete noire.

An accomplished tactician on the battlefield, he and his small army of guerrillas overthrew the military leader Fulgencio Batista in 1959 to widespread popular support.

Within two years of taking power, he declared the revolution to be Marxist-Leninist in nature and allied the island nation firmly to the Soviet Union.

Yet, despite the constant threat of a US invasion as well as the long-standing economic embargo on the island, Castro managed to maintain a communist revolution in a nation just 90 miles (145km) off the coast of Florida.

Despised by his critics as much as he was revered by his followers, he outlasted ten US presidents and defied scores of attempts on his life by the CIA.

Nigerian singer, Runtown seems to be on his way to fatherhood.
The ‘Gallardo’ singer has just been called out by a UK-based model, Karim Jamila signed under Elite Models, London.
According to Jamila, she decided to call out the singer on social media since he refused to pick her calls for over two weeks.
Though Runtown declined to comment on the development when Thenetng reached out to him, a highly placed source confirms to us that Runtown is indeed preparing for fatherhood.
Jamila has now shared a photo of the 12-week old foetus in an ultra sound scan conducted at the Simpson Royal Infirmary, Edinburgh, Scotland.
With this, Runtown may join the growing list of celebrity baby daddies in the Nigerian music scene with the likes of Davido, Wizkid, Olamide, Timaya and others.

When you hear ‘I get big cassava’, only one song comes to mind, Tekno‘s ‘Pana’. The hit singer repeated the line severally in his song, leading fans to believe he had a really huge you-know-what.
He took to Instagram yesterday to share a shirtless photo of himself by the poolside and to the disappointment of fans, his ‘big cassava’ was nowhere in sight.
The lanky singer, dressed in only a pair of briefs, posed with his tongue out – which some heartbroken fans claimed was even longer than the so called ‘big cassava’.
Reacting to the buzz surrounding his picture, the 23-year-old singer posted another photo, this time showing a bigger bulge, obviously in a bid to prove haters wrong, with the caption ‘Where is Diana?’

What's hot in this picture?

With men it doesn't matter how many ladies he slept with but with the ladies this is very crucial. We do not want an overused gf. If she can give away her puci to everybody she is not a keeper.

It's their country. It's their choice who will they vote

Smh.People must be vigilant these days.

Bless her .
