Justice Adolphus Karibi Whyte has attributed his 50 years success in marriage to the perfect relationship that exists between him and his wife, Mrs. Faith, describing her as “the best thing that has happened to me in life”.
Justice Karibi Whyte stated this is in exclusive interview with The Newswriter Saturday, shortly after the celebration of his 50th year marriage anniversary in Port Harcourt.
“MY wife is everything to me. We had always planned together no one thing have I done without my wife. My wife does everything for me, even thinking.”

Talking about marriage, the veteran jurist said marriage is the best thing that can happen to any man. He advised couples or prospective ones to always hinge their relationship on mutual trust and confidence. Throwing more light on the factors that contributed to his success in life, the retired Supreme Court judge said the name of his father played a major role in his life.
He recalled how his father cautioned him on 10th September, 1965 when he was going back to England to always remember his name in all his dealings.
