[color=][/color]Corper or Corp member
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
