[color=][/color]Corper or Corp member smiley Corper-is the popular word used to refer to Nigerian youths during the course of their mandatory one year National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program.
It's a merger of the two words in the term ‘corps member’, where the first four and last two letters are retained, with the ‘p’ in corps regaining its sound. This word formation process is called [b]BLENDING[b/]
NOTE- This is not in the dictionary and I advise you to choose CORP MEMBER
