The Flamingos powered to a well-deserved 6-0 win over their West African neighbours inside the National Stadium in Abuja to secure a 7-1 aggregate victory.
Harmony Chidi was Nigeriaโs outstanding performer as the young forward netted an excellent hat-trick while Peace Effiong claimed a brace to inspire the Flamingos to another huge win.
It would be recalled that the two teams played out a 1-1 draw at the Stade 26 Mars in Bamako, Mali, last week.
However, the Flamingos were in no mood for niceties in Abuja on Saturday as the coach Bankole Olowookere took a two-goal lead into the halftime break.
Chidi gave Nigeria the lead in the 11th minute before Peace Effiong doubled the advantage just past the half-hour mark.
Nigeria extended the superiority after the interval with Chidi heading home her second of the match and the Flamingosโ third and Ramota Kareemโs brilliant effort compounded the woes for the visitors.
Chidi completed her hat-trick four minutes from time before Peace Effiong bagged her second of the encounter as the rampant Flamingos made light work of Burkina Faso.
The Flamingosโ 6-0 win equals Nigeriaโs biggest win during the qualifiers and the countryโs best result since beating Azerbaijan 11-0 at the FIFA U17 Womenโs World Cup in 2012.
Nigeria have now advanced to the final qualifying round of the 2024 Womenโs World Cup, where Flamingos will face either Senegal or Liberia.
The Flamingos won a bronze medal at the 2022 edition of the U17 Womenโs World Cup in India after beating Germany in the third-place match. (Leadership)
