There are 20 weaver (and ally) species in Burkina Faso. Several are "black and yellow". I don't know how distinctive nests are per species. It may take an expert's help to ID this from nest alone...

masked weaver maybe we have them by the tons here

Yes, the bird looks like the Vitelline masked weaver. Yellow with a black head.
