Also if they stole every cent, there would be no salaries for police, nurses, teachers, etc. So yes there is corruption but not to the extent that you are implying.

[@uchenna127]

Nigeria is no way near economic collapse, like Lebanon. The poverty rate in Lebanon is at 80%, in just 2 years. You can't even imagine what that's like. The Nigerian currency fluctuates at a couple of percentile per year. Food prices increase, but you can still buy it, that's why you have enough energy to write on your computer. When it comes to power, Nigeria has been surviving off generators for years, the Lebanon currency is so bad, they can't even afford to buy them. So let's keep ourselves grounded in reality, Nigeria's issues are like every developing country, nothing unique there. Why don't need anymore Nigerians fleeing to Libya to live as a slave, because they think being a slave is better than being a Nigerian.

You have different clans opposing each other inside the Maronite community (LF/Aoun/Frangieh) or the Druze Community (Joumblatt/Hamade). So unfortunately the country suffers from sectarianism not because of its religious diversity but because of the toxic sectarian mentality of the Lebanese and the fact that they are often used to bring up other countries to fulfill their interests, like the Maronites did with France and Israel, or the Sunnis with the Palestinians and Egypt (at Nasser time), or the Shias with Iran . Therefore they worship war criminals like Joumblatt and Berri and are never ashamed to kill each other, and I say that as a Lebanese.
