The Super Eagles recorded a 4-1 victory over the Stallions of Burkina Faso in a friendly match at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium, Kaduna on Tuesday.
Brown Ideye opened the scoring in the 12th minute as he took advantage of a mix-up between defender and goalkeeper to roll the ball into the back of the net.
The visitors rarely threatened the Nigerian goal and they fell further behind just before the break as Ideye doubled his tally.
The Dynamo Kiev striker beat 3 defenders to latch onto a through-ball from Ogu and calmly lifted the ball over Lare Diarra.
Shola Ameobi finally got his goal early in the 2nd half after squandering several earlier chances as he fired into the back of the net after excellent work from Ideye.
Emmanuel Emenike added a 4th in the 63rd minute, Ogenyi Onazi creating space for the striker and he fired the ball beyond Diarra.
Burkina Faso were struggling to get into the game but did manage a late consolation through Simpore, the defender meeting an Issa Gouo cross with a simple tap-in at the back post.
