3. "Cities expanding led to" matches with "the importing of food to feed its people" as urban expansion and reduced rural farming can create a need to import food.
4. "coastline" is related to "has major ports" as coastlines are where ports are typically located.
5. "world oil prices increased" is associated with "in the early 1970s" as the 1970s oil crisis led to price increases.
6. "most difficult challenge" corresponds to "ethnic conflict" as ethnic conflict is a major challenge in Nigeria. Also, "oil was discovered in Nigeria" is a historical fact related to Nigeria's development.
