The Emmanuel Amumeke’s boys had secured a vital 1-0 away win a fortnight ago in Bujumbura but did not look like letting up as they dominated the second leg of the encounter from the blast of the whistle.
Goalless it ended in the first half and despite creating several chances the assistant Referee and poor finishing would deny the fans at the U.J Esuene Stadium the excitement of goals in the first 45.
A different reflection though, was how the second half panned out as the young Eagles swirled back on the pitch for the concluding half.
Osimhen converted from the spot in the 70th minute after Chukwueze was brought down in the box and Captain Nwakali curled in a beautiful free kick to double the lead for the Flying Eagles.
Burundi scored a consolation with two minutes of regular time remaining. The sides had extra three minutes to conclude the encounter but nothing else would give and Nigeria ran away victors 3-1 on aggregate and next face Sudan in the final qualifying round due next Month.
