Without an iota of doubt, Nigeria is blessed and highly favoured than some other nations.
The only reason we are still classified under the 'developing nations' category or as a 'third world country' is because the people in this great nation lack the ability to harness their potentials positively and those that actually made it to the top get so puffed up in pride that they don't want any other person to get there.
For your knowledge, here are some of the reasons why our nation is more likely to succeed (only if we really want to) than others: oNo natural disasters.
Our great country is one of those few nations that do not encounter natural disasters and as such we do not need to go about begging or borrowing money to aid or re-develop the economy and re-build our nation.
All our money should go into developing the economy since there is nothing to worry about in terms of disasters.
oBlessed with lots of mineral resources.
Apart from the crude oil (which every one is running after), we have numerous untapped mineral resources that can provide millions of naira for the country.
We have coal, tin, iron..

and lots of agricultural products.
oHighly innovative people.
We all know that Nigerians are very innovative, even though most of their innovations are in the negative perspective.
There is nothing a Nigerian cannot do, ranging from education to the economy and even the internet, you will find that one way or the other, a Nigerian is behind the scene.
The only thing we need to do is to focus our innovative ability on the positive part of life and move this nation forward.
oNo suicide bombers.
Nigerians have not and will never be involved in any car / suicide bombing because they love their lives.
I remember a joke a comedian once said on stage.
Paraphrasing, he said "If you promise a Nigerian that you will give his family money, and that all he needs to do is to detonate a bomb in a plane and die alongside the people in the plane, he will tell you to give him the money and let his family do the job for you".
oWitchcraft is done secretly.
In Nigeria, if by any mistake, people get to know that you are a witch, I will say God is on your side if they don't kill you instantly.
Unlike some other countries where witchcraft is legalised, a witch or a possessed person hides his/her identity.
