A video of Nigerians celebrating their football team's victory over South Africa in the Africa Cup of Nations has gone viral on social media.
In the clip, the Super Eagles fans taunt their rivals by pouring liquid over their bodies while singing the hit Water by South African singer Tyla.
On Sunday, she won Best African Music Performance at the Grammys, beating several Nigerian superstars.
Disappointed Nigerians responded by vowing revenge at the Afcon semi-final.
Nigeria beat South Africa on penalties after the match added 1-1 on Wednesday night.
The hashtag #NGARSA is trending in both African giants, as they poke fun at each other.
The banter has also seen Nigerians telling South Africans their Jollof Rice is better than South Africa's Bobotie, a spicy mince-meat dish.
