Nigerian artist Victor Ehikhamenor has highlighted an exhibit at British artist Damien Hirst's current show as the latest example of cultural appropriation.

Hirst's Venice exhibition Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable hosts the imagined artefacts rescued from a fictional ship that went down off the coast of East Africa.

One of the pieces looks like one of the famous Benin bronzes cast in the 13th Century in the Ife Kingdom in what is now Nigeria.

Ehikhamenor says in his Instagram post, external that this postcard of Golden Heads (Female) "makes no reference to the Kingdom of Ife and great artists that originally made these timeless classics... Once again the hunter has glorified his tale in the absence of the lion." 

In another post he says: "For the thousands of viewers seeing this for the first time, they won't think Ife, they won't think Nigeria. 

"Their young ones will grow up to know this work as Damien Hirst's. As time passes it will pass for a Damien Hirst regardless of his small print caption. 

"The narrative will shift and the young Ife or Nigerian contemporary artist will someday be told by a long-nose critic: 'Your work reminds me of Damien Hirst's Golden Head'. 

"We need more biographers for our forgotten."

As parents slowly start to learn about whether their daughters are among the 82 freed by Boko Haram militants two days ago, what can we learn about how this group will be treated from those who have come before? 

Twenty-one of the Chibok girls who were released last October are still on a "military reintegration programme" seven months on.

They were allowed to go home to Chibok at Christmas, but their families were only able to see them at a local politician’s house.

Nigerian journalist Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani, writing, external in the New York Times in March, said:

“The girls now seem to have exchanged one form of captivity for another.”

Parents of the missing Chibok girls are slowly learning if their daughters are among the 82 freed by Boko Haram militants in Nigeria two days ago.

It's the biggest breakthrough so far in the high-profile abduction, which made waves around the world. 

But the girls kidnapped in Chibok in 2014 represent a small fraction of the number of people taken by Boko Haram.

Exact figures are hard to come by, but in 2015 Amnesty International said at least 2,000 women and girls had been taken since 2014, with many of them being forced into sexual slavery.

Amnesty Nigeria's spokesperson Isa Sanusi said that since 2014 his organisation has recorded 14 mass abductions and that it still gets reports of kidnappings on almost a daily basis.

"Almost all towns and villages in Borno state have a long list of missing persons, mostly women, girls and young men," he told the BBC in an email.

A faction within Nigeria's main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has condemned the government's decision to free suspected Boko Haram militants in exchange for the release of  82 schoolgirls abducted from the north-eastern town of Chibok in April 2014.

In a statement, the faction, led by Senator Ahmed Makarfi, said that it while it welcomed the fact that the girls had been freed, it opposed the release of "hardened criminals". 

The suspected militant Islamists had escaped and could "unleash terror" again, it said. 

Boko Haram could also be emboldened to continue abducting innocent people with the belief that it could "blackmail" the government into releasing more of its fighters, the statement added.
