So what do you think is your country missing to get out of being a third world country stage?
I will first answer the question "How do developing countries end up escaping poverty? " They can escape poverty if they do the following:
1: if they have a good government that wants the progress of the country,
2: if the government prioritizes security for both citizens and foreigners,
3: if the country has good natural resources that can generate revenue,
4: if they prioritize building of factories to refine all their raw materials into finished products
5: if they welcome international investment in their country.
6: if they invest in education, (because education is power)

I purposely arranged this things accordingly to explain how it works hand in hand. First, it is only when a country has good leaders that wants their country to grow, that's when  the country will grow and do well. I live in a country where our governments and top politician can not allow their kids to school and study in our own country, why?, because they think that the education system in our country is not fit enough to school their kids, therefore they send their kids abroad to study.  If the education system is not good enough to fit for their kids, why can they not work on it instead of sending their kids abroad? So, this is a problem in my country and it could also be a problem in some countries.

Definitely, development would have been more than the way it is in some countries but because of insecurity, many foreigners has feared to come and invest in the country, because tell me why foreigners will not be afraid to enter a country where even the citizens are not safe? It's still because of insecurity rate of a country that makes somade those top leaders and politicians to send their kids to school abroad, and my question is, why can they not control this insecurity?  In a country where both citizens and tourist are secretly being killed or kidnapped without the kidnappers or murderers being apprehended and justice being served, how can such country escape poverty easily?  In the country I find my self, security is very poor, many people are killed every year without justice being served to the killer. Even rich people in the country are scared to make some kind of investment because they might be killed.  So, where is the growth going to come from when u can not run my company freely?

Some countries are rich with fertile lands, crude oil, mineral resources like gold, etc, but yet they are poor meanwhile if they properly manage all these resources, they can become better. If they manage all these resources very well by building some strong heavy companies to refine these sources, they will produce quality finished products that will be enough for the country and will even have more to export, but some countries are importing finished products at a very high price meanwhile they have the raw materials to produce these products but lack companies to do so. This covers my number 3&4 point.

By welcoming international investment I mean foreign investors, if the country is safe for foreigners, definitely many will come and establish something good in the country which will earn them profits but will also create employment opportunities for the citizens of the country, while the company will pay tax to the government. Growth will happen if all these are considered.

Lastly, education, like I have been hearing the saying since I was a pupil, "education is the key, education is power, " Without education we can not learn to build and develop things, therefore if the government are careless about investing in education, what will be of the society?  All these things will help boost a country's growth and I have seen how it is affecting my country too.
