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.
