Imagine attending a full blown Nigerian party and  the DJ drops a beat that gets your feet tapping and before long, your body starts to sync to the rhythm. While you’re busy rocking your heart and soul out, you hear someone shout “Kpakam!”

What does Kpakam mean?

Kpakam is a Nigerian slang word that has diverse meanings depending on the context in which it is being used. It can be used to express excitement, surprise, or even shock. It can also be used to describe something that is very good or very bad.

For example, if you see someone wearing a really nice outfit, you might say “Kpakam!” to express your admiration. Or, if you see someone do something stupid, you might also say “Kpakam!” to express your disbelief.

Kpakam body too correct. ???????? pic.twitter.com/zOh8m0LtTj

If you know you are goofy, don't go and marry those ones who use to tight the world to their chest.
Any small thing "Do you know how many years I use and senior you?"
Any kpakam "Am I your mate?"

Oh, sorry, Methuselah! pic.twitter.com/Le28NIs2ZC
