Actually, Nigeria might still be underdeveloped come 2023, I stated this because key factors to her development are being neglected or not fully approached.
If the government as an elected body is more focused on these key factors, there will be a remarkable change in the development of the nation.
As a country, there are just 4 basic key factors which should be tackled and then the country becomes fertile to attract more development.
*Sercurity* :
The citizens of the country should be guaranteed of their safety anywhere and anytime in all parts of the country with the aim that the Blood of any Nigerian is worth over every other thing. This will encourage Nigerians to freely visit any part of the country, can live and invest there. Hence the security agencies and judiciary should be disciplined and able to serve the nation without been influenced.
*Good Transport system* :
If our roads and airports are in good condition and built or maintained to the required standards, investors including transport merchants will be able to come in and settle. In this 21st century, I think every state in Nigeria should have a good functional airport of its own weather its useful to the state or not, even some states need more than one. I can remember spending more than 8hrs travelling from Jalingo to Gembu both in Taraba state, on a lonely and very risky road climbing the Gembu mountain. If such travel is assisted with airplanes , I dont see reason why Gembu town which is a blessed in Agriculture and tourism will still be stagnant in terms of development.
*Special Infastructures* :
Nigeria today, though blessed with crude oil is yet to have a good functional refinery, even the existing ones are not given adequate maintenance. Up till now, we sell the raw material(crude oil) we are blessed with to import finished products, its really pathetic. If these special infrastructures like refineries (at least one good functional refinery built to standard) and stadiums are put in place , it will create another source of revenue for the country, reduce fuel scarcity and eliminate fuel subsidy.
*Power* :
If good electricity is accessible in most parts of the country, by tackling it directly and ensuring that all power facilities are built to standard and properly managed, it will attract investors and create another source of revenue for the country.
All these abovementioned tackles all the problems in Nigeria today including ethnic agitations, fuel scarcity and unemployment which seems to be the major ones.
Nigeria can be great again, GOD bless Nigeria!

Happy new 2018 in advance

We're in the 21st century....and to date cannot say 50% of basic 20th century infrastructure has been achieved.... or is going to be achieved as far as we can see. Your vision of development is also a problem..... the same kind of vision too many of our leaders have..... development is measured in terms of foreign investment. When a foreign investor comes..... it's almost always...always exploitation but the justification is almost always...always jobs are provided. Maybe it is better we remain the way we are rather than have our resources be taken away from us with nothing to show for it and we be gradually shoved off our lands.

when i say "investors", i dont mean only foreign investors but there are also investors among us who are afraid to invest in their country rather they prefer outside due to unfavourable conditions here.
