Write better emails. Make more moneys. Attend the 3rd Annual Nigerian Email Conference! Like most Nigerians, you're probably finding that it's increasingly difficult to earn a decent living from email. That's why you need to attend the 3rd Annual Nigerian EMail Conference.

The PCness in me is ashamed considering that, in part, it makes fun of the plight found in Nigeria, but eff it, this is funny.

Now now, da5id, take a tomato or two.

You have to expect that someone might have phrased it a little differently that you want to when you're doing your search. I would recommend searching for each word in your query individually, especially the key ones like "nigerian."

Because to come up with nothing for 3rd Annual Nigerian Email Conference you would have had to either misspell it or set the date range to "in the past month".

People are constantly blaming double posting on search engine failures but in the case the two posts are so much alike that it's really hard to come up with a search that wouldn't hit the previous thread.

Yeah, um, are you sure you were searching in MetaFilter, and not Fark?
