This came after incessant attacking pressure from the Super Falcons including saves from Dlamini.
The 2022 champions, however, came out strong in the second half hoping for an equaliser.
A foul by Osinachi Ohale inside the box led to another penalty which was converted by Linda Motlhalo in the hour mark to level things.
With the game heading towards extra time, a seeming cross by Michelle Alozie resulted into the winning goal in the additional minutes of the second half.
The win ensured that Nigeria will be playing in their 10th WAFCON final as they continue their quest to win their 10th title.
