Kaiama is a town in Bayelsa State, Nigeria, and serves as the administrative headquarters of the Kolokuma/Opokuma Local Government Area.

[1] Located about a 30-minute drive from Yenagoa, the state capital, it is historically significant as the birthplace of Major Isaac Adaka Boro, an Ijaw nationalist who proclaimed the Niger Delta Republic in 1966.

For example, the Izon phrase “Izon–I seriidou waa?” translates to “Did you make it back from the dead?” It reflects the belief that sleep symbolizes death, while waking signifies a return to life.

"[9] Kaiama is easily accessible from Delta State, with its entrance marked by a prominent hilly incline at the first "T" junction in Bayelsa when coming from Ughelli.

The town has evolved into a hub of cultural exchange, largely due to the presence of NYSC members, who often share experiences of their time in Kaiama.
