Which nation that is currently not "first world/wealthy", will be in 20 years or so?

We are seeing positive economic trends across most of the globe right now, and have been for some time.
How long will it take for some of these big, fast growing countries like India and Nigeria to actually become well off?
I know "Rome wasn't built in a day", but south Korea, Japan, and west germany all become first world pretty quickly.

I dont see any African country ever being first world outside of maybe Egypt and that's simple due to proximity to Saudi.

First world = USA and allies during Cold War
Second world = Soviet Union and allies during Cold War
Third World = developing countries

Several western Europe nations may creep back up if they get stricter on immigration.

The problem with India and Nigeria are that they have uneven growth. I've been to India many times, and while it has changed quite a bit, it still has trouble with its rural population. China has some of the same problems with its rural population. Nigeria will continue to have a high birthrate, which means it will become one of the largest Muslim countries in the world in 2050.
If the Middle East stabilizes, then there are some North African countries who have seen solid growth that could become first world. French companies in particular are eager to work in NA. I think there is a large Peugeot plant in Morocco that went online recently. Turkey has experienced a lot of growth since 2001, with their birth rate falling below or at replacement, which indicates a high level of development. If their political situation stabilizes (namely the refugee situation and the Kurdish situation) they could become the dominant economic power in the MENA region.

Although there will likely be a stark contrast between the very rich and very poor.

Because we carried them?
And you do realize any country that was in NATO or allied with the US is a 1st world country right? Second world was the Warsaw Pact/communists. Third World was all the neutral counties (third world now being synonymous with poor af)
