Nigerian(?) Knife - ID/info help please

This knive is probably from upper Nigeria (yes really), it's about 300 years old by estimate but that's not hard science, and the engravings on it are unknown. What can you make of this, orgah detectives to the rescue

Would probably be helpful to have photo of the whole thing.

You could try here - they usually know their stuff
