This is pointless, you're simply not willing to understand that ME - just like most games, movies and books - has a bunch of plot holes.
If you need more info, read the wiki article on Cerberus:
http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Cerberus
It clearly states:
"As of 2185, Cerberus consists of 150 operatives organized into three cells. The Illusive Man oversees all projects carried out by the cells personally; consequently, there are never more than a dozen projects active at one time. This degree of micro-management leaves the organization vulnerable should the Illusive Man ever be compromised, though he has been smart enough to avoid detection so far."
And yet they were able to take over Omega, a space station with 7,8 million people, a lot of whom are pro mercenaries:

How an organization with 150 people can take over a city with 7,8 million people is simply never explained or explored or anything. It's completely illogical and makes no sense.
When they were fighting C-SEC aboard the Citadel, they were fighting a police force with of over 200.000, which doesn't make any sense either. They should have been obliterated. More on C-SEC here:

If you're not even going to trust the wiki, I think we might as well agree to disagree.
