Arre U R taking it the wrong way.
See, although the attraction of lp and nucleus decreases but U can also see that as size is increasing, the net effect of lone pair is spread over a large area. In N, the lone pair is in very small area and hence N can easily donate it.
U just take it this way as if U R a small kid. Now understand like this. an element wants a lone pair. Just like a child wants a toffee. Now its easier for the child to search for toffee in a cupboard than in the entire house. So the basicity(tofficity here hehehe) of cupboard(N) is more than the house(larger elements)

Hope U understood.

The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.

It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.
