How mild inflation is beneficial for an economy?

Inflation is a measure of changes in the average price level and therefore, the cost living. A mild inflation could be indeed beneficial since it puts pressure on businesses to be competitive and at the same time, produces a situation where there is broad confidence in the macroeconomy. In fact, many countries wish to keep the inflation rate slightly above 0 (ie. UK keeps its inflation rate at around 2%) due to these benefits. However this is not the case of emerging and developing economies and there are many downturns that have to be considered.

How can I use Rostow's stage theory to assess Nigeria's level of economic development?

I'm not terribly knowledgeable about conditions in Nigeria, so your mileage may vary from my response. Rostow's theory centers around society being able to save (and invest) efficiently enough to promote economic growth. In other words, the key resource/concept to look at here is capital.

If you're asking this question, I assume that you at least have rudimentary knowledge of the stages, so I won't waste anyone's time typing those out. Basically, answering your question requires you to look at savings and investment levels in Nigeria, (and to some extent, the diversity of the economy there). If the economy is not very diverse and they're not exporting much, it's likely that they will fall into stage two or three of the model. If savings and investment equal roughly 20% of GDP and/or the population doesn't appear to be living on subsistence incomes, they might be toward the latter part of stage three/early part of stage four.

What is the Impact of inflation in return on investment?

Calculating the return on investment you actually want to know whether the investment will give you positive value in the end. You wouldn't want to waste your money, right?

Thus you want to make sure that the net present value of your investment is positive. However, inflation deteriorates the value of money. 100 money today most likely can buy you more today than in a year's time. That's why you are interested in adjusting the expected future cashflows to the expected inflation rate.

Overall, not accounting for inflation will overestimate the value of investment. In other words, you could choose something which will not bring you benefit.
