JOE ARIBO has already earned major praise for his showings on the pitch for Nigeria, but now he's wowed his team-mates with a performance off it.
The Rangers star was filmed by team-mates rapping and singing along to a Nigerian hit as he stood on a chair while on international duty.
Aribo looked in his element as he rapped the words to Wizkid hit Caro adding actions into the performance for team-mates.
And his team-mates made it clear they were enjoying his rendition as they joined in with the chorus before Aribo ended his initiation-like performance.
The video was shared on social media by AF Recon alongside a post which read: "For the @RangersFC fans missing out on content during the winter break, not only can you watch @J_Aribo19 today for the @NGSuperEagles but here is some excellent Velcro Feet content for your Saturday!"
Fans loved the behind-the-scenes clip showing the high spirits in the Nigeria camp at the tournament.
One wrote: "JOE THE GREAT"
Another replied: "Go on big Joe"

While a third joked: "Was waiting for a meteor to crash through the roof and him to control it"
But other Rangers fans demanded Nigeria return Aribo to Ibrox without a scratch as they commented on his makeshift chair-stage.
The BattleFeverPod joked: "Get him aff that chair ffs. Ye harm one precious dreadlock on his lovely head and the bears are coming for ye!!"
And another added: "why is the best player on the planet stood on top of a chair potentially risking a fall? fs Nigeria, wrap that man in cotton wool and return him without a scratch on him."
Aribo made his second appearance in the African Cup of Nations today as his side earned their second win.
They added to their 1-0 defeat of Egypt with a comfortable 3-1 victory over Sudan.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
