I'd be going with Indian, the method of mounting the blade is not one I would associate with West African spears.

I have looked at African examples but could not find anything similar, the same with Indo-persian examples. There are some Indo-persian weapons that have the same butt type and there are Indian thrusting swords with the same needle type blade, and some Indian spears do use the same method of blade attachment.
