The This Is Business meme originates from the 2003 Nigerian film Baby Police. In the Nollywood movie, Dada (the character played by Osita Iheme) says this dialogue to his uncle (the character played by Francis Odega) when his uncle from Lagos inquires him about his money which dada gave to some ‘businessmen’ as an investment. Later, he learns that he was tricked by some thugs. The popular use of This Is Business meme is to mock a deceitful person.
