Just been granted a settlement VISA.

The story is i have been here as an asylum seaker for 9 years and today home office has granted me a settlement VISA not as a refugee, but due to the length of time i have been in UK and also due to the fact that i have a family now here. On the visa there is this info:

type of permit = settlement
remarks = indefinite leave to remain

my question is can i apply for naturalization then citizenship without waiting for 1 year.

i have no travel restriction to any country. can i visit my original country without getting into trouble?
