Nigeria needed two second-half goals to go past a stubborn Swaziland on Tuesday and advance to the next round of the qualifying tournament for the 2018 World Cup on a 2-0 aggregate.
The first leg was a scoreless draw in Lobambo on Friday.
After a scoreless first half, Moses Simon put Nigeria finally in front after 51 minutes, courtesy of a sublime free kick.
This was before Celtic defender, Efe Ambrose, tapped home a second goal three minutes from time.
As expected, visiting Swaziland sat back in their defence, but Nigeria failed to break their resistance in the first 45 minutes as they were very poor in their finishing.
