Jordi Alba scored twice, stroking in following a flowing move early on and then rounding Nigerian goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama with two minutes left.
Nigeria caused problems for Spain’s defence in between with John Mikel Obi and Sunday Mba going close.
Fernando Torres headed in two minutes after coming on as a substitute, before Alba sealed it to knock Nigeria out.
Although the Super Eagles bow out of the tournament with a solitary victory over Tahiti to finish third in Group B behind Uruguay, there were signs of encouragement for the team.
Had they converted their chances the story of this game might have been different, but there was a sense that Spain still had another gear to move into if they needed it.
