Many years after the war, Leader of the defunct BIAFRA state, dim ojukwu, recieved his pension cheque from the military pensions board.
Ojukwu was paid on the rank of lieutenant-colonel. He was grateful but later stated that he was a general and not lt colonel.
Senate president, David Mark who retired as amajor general was also paid.
the board said it would be paying biafran soldiers also as part of an integration process begun after the civil war
It is a good move by the government to pay its pensioners but i heard some people were sad concerning the fact that Ojukwu accepted his pension without agitating for his people.
