Tigernut Drink Deal Gone Wrong: Vendor vs Investor Friend

Ada sells tigernut drinks in 30cl bottles around her neighborhood. She hawked about 50 bottles daily until she met Ogechi at a mechanic’s workshop. Ogechi loved the drink and asked Ada to sell only to her. Sales quickly rose to 200 bottles, then 320, and now 570 daily after a major deal. Ogechi offered to purchase a grinding and squeezing machine, with Ada repaying over time. Ada learned each bottle now sells for ₦1,000 and feels she only earns ₦300. She believes she’s being exploited after all her hard work. Ogechi counters that Ada’s original price was two bottles for ₦500 and that her extra costs justify the margin. Ada says she’d rather return to independent hawking than continue this partnership. Who is in the right in this business conflict?
