Founding | Governance – The Ikoku Group

Founding &

Governance

Formed as a series limited liability company in Delaware, USA, The Ikoku Group is governed by its Founder, Owner and President, Alvan Azinna Chibuzo Ikoku — along with the Founder’s application of the Codes and Policies — and thus managed to engage in work that is both domestic and international in scope, concerned as it is with offering services to communities and entities located within and across borders.

The Founding

The Alvan Ikoku Group LLC was established in January 2019 by its sole Founder, Original Member, President and Chair, Alvan Azinna Chibuzo Ikoku — as one part of ongoing work he has carried out for over two decades, leading also to his founding of Publiks Inc, The Ikoku Charitable Trusts and The Ikoku Foundations. Where appropriate and approved by the Founder, these entities endeavor to coordinate their efforts and resultant benefit to the communities they serve.

Formation

The Alvan Ikoku Group LLC is formally organized as a series limited liability company, as provided for in the Delaware State Code of the United States, and it is registered and headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware. The Group is also officially known under the business names, The Alvan Azinna Chibuzo Ikoku Group and The Ikoku Group. All three names, as used in official Ikoku Group documents, products, services, and sites, refer to the same aforementioned company entity.

The Divisions

As provided for under law for series limited liability companies, The Ikoku Group uses its series as a primary means to structure its assets, interests and operations. A portion of The Ikoku Group interests, series and shares-equivalents are dedicated to the structuring of its assets, operations, products, services and sites into the five (5) divisions and eight (8) areas of focus described in the main Areas and Divisions page.

The five divisions are as follows:

The Areas

As further described in Areas and Divisions, the divisions of The Ikoku Group develop, provide and safeguard holdings, products, services and sites in the eight (8) areas below:

The Mission

The Ikoku Group, via its divisions, is thus structured to carry out efforts in the aforementioned areas, and to ultimately fulfill its originating mission to foster care and creativity, ethics and innovation in work and communities of enduring concern to the Founder and Partners. As always, the objective is the improvement of lives and the betterment of societies.

Core Purposes

Opening

The development of The Ikoku Group is governed by its sole Founder and Owner, Alvan Azinna Chibuzo Ikoku, as well as a set of attendant mission-related core purposes derived from a history of company establishment further described below:

History and Impetus for Founding

During a period preceding and extending into the formation of The Alvan Ikoku Group LLC, the Founder, Alvan Azinna Chibuzo Ikoku, was subject to a set of consistent, extensive, pervasive, dehumanizing and subhumanizing practices — including but not limited to discrimination, harassment, stalking, and unconsented communication, experimentation, monitoring, and spying — that entailed profound violations of the Founder’s basic, fundamental and natural freedoms, liberties and rights, confidentiality and privacy rights, and fundamental autonomy, dignity and humanity accorded and provided to citizens and residents of California, Delaware, the United States, and member states of the United Nations.*

Harassment and Surveillance

Several of such practices condoned, encouraged and entailed the public, vigilante and wanton harassment, spying, stalking, surveillance, and unconsented tracking of the Founder.

Unconsented Exhibition and Experimentation

Several of such practices condoned, encouraged and entailed the demeaning, harmful, nonbenign, public and unconsented exhibition of and experimentation upon the Founder.

Unconsented Care, Communication, Research, Training

Several of such practices condoned, encouraged and entailed the demeaning, harmful, nonbenign, public and unconsented yet supposed care, communication, education, research and training of, on and with the Founder.

Denial of Consent, Due Process and Liberty Rights

Several of such practices insisted on the denial of the Founder’s rights to consent, rights to due process, and rights to liberty.

Denial of Private Property and Private Work Rights

Several of such practices insisted on the denial of the Founder’s rights to private property (real and intellectual), rights to private ownership, and rights to private, uncoerced and unindentured labor and work, including the discriminatory and false insistence that such property and work of Alvan Azinna Chibuzo Ikoku and of The Ikoku Group and its series, divisions, subsidiaries, and affiliates are public or communal, are public or communal property, are under public or communal control or supervision, and belong to the public or any collective.

Denial of Private Control Rights

Several of such practices further insisted on the denial of the Founder’s rights to private control of property (real and intellectual), of labor and work, of development and employment of ideas, and of the results of the aforementioned, including the condoning of, planning for, and reliance on practices of counterfeiting, fraud, hacking, identity theft, piracy, and equivalently confusing and fraudulent activities. Such practices entailed falsely presenting to other persons alternative versions of The Ikoku Group including its series, divisions, subsidiaries, and affiliates as entities administered, governed, managed, operated and otherwise owned or supervised by any person other than Alvan Azinna Chibuzo Ikoku, the sole Owner and Founder of The Ikoku Group. Such practices also entailed falsely presenting alternative versions of the goods, products, services, sites, and other offerings of The Ikoku Group as entities administered, governed, managed, operated and otherwise owned or supervised by any person other than Alvan Azinna Chibuzo Ikoku, the sole Owner and Founder of The Ikoku Group. And such practices also entailed falsely posing as though other persons, beyond Alvan Azinna Chibuzo Ikoku, have or deserve control, decision-making, governance, policy-making, rules-making and any other administrative, management, operations, supervision or ownership powers or rights pertaining to The Ikoku Group, any of its goods, products, services, sites and other offerings, and any of the divisions, series, subsidiaries, or affiliates.

Denial of Confidentiality and Privacy Rights

Several of such practices consistently and pervasively insisted on the denial of the Founder’s rights to confidentiality and privacy, including but not limited to the practice of spying and unconsented monitoring, recording, and transmission.

Denial of Private Life

Several of such practices consistently, pervasively and literally insisted on the denial of the Founder’s basic, fundamental and human right to a private life, including to any private emotion, feeling, idea, moment, or thought.

Denial of Freedom of Thought

Several of such practices consistently, pervasively and literally insisted on the denial of the Founder’s basic, fundamental and human rights to freedom of thought, to privacy of thought, including to thinking without detection or recording, and to privacy of personal and private speech.

Denial of Autonomy, Dignity and Humanity

Several of such practices thus consistently, pervasively and literally insisted on the denial of the Founder’s basic rights to enjoy the degree, level, and quality of autonomy, dignity, humanity, and humanness provided to citizens and residents of California, Delaware, the United States, and member states of the United Nations.

Discriminatory Dissemination and Withholding of Information

Several of such practices also consistently and pervasively insisted on the withholding of basic, fundamental and necessary information from the Founder regarding the above, and thus insisted on the denial of basic, fundamental and necessary understanding of one’s circumstances needed as a basis for consent, decision-making, and the subsequent seeking, obtaining, and provision of basic, civil, fundamental and human rights. Such withholding of information occurred and was consistently and pervasively sustained while providing other persons, including those in business, education, government, and the general public, an excess surfeit of information regarding the Founder and broad access to means of conducting profound violations of the Founder’s basic, fundamental and natural freedoms, liberties and rights, confidentiality and privacy rights, and fundamental autonomy, dignity and humanity as described above.

Collusion, Targeting, Meaningfulness, Conditions

Several of the above practices also entailed collusive behavior with effects that include, but are not limited to, the consistent, extensive, pervasive and knowing targeting of the Founder and the Founder’s activities and movements, affairs and assets, companies and entities, plans, projects, properties and other aspects and pursuits of his life; the consistent, extensive, pervasive and knowing denial of meaningful consent or volition for the Founder; the consistent, extensive, pervasive and knowing denial of meaningful confidentiality and meaningful expectation of confidentiality for the Founder; the consistent, extensive, pervasive and knowing denial of meaningful privacy and meaningful expectation of privacy for the Founder; and the consistent, extensive, pervasive and knowing insistence that the aforementioned practices be the conditions of employment, investment, mentoring or supervision, ownership, partaking of commerce and services, work as well as living and life where they are not the conditions of employment, investment, mentoring or supervision, ownership, partaking of commerce and services, work as well as living and life for other entities and persons — including within equivalent departments, fields, industries, institutions, occupations, positions, and professions — as well as for citizens and residents of California, Delaware, the United States, and member states of the United Nations.

Discrimination Based on Difference

And several of such practices brought to the fore the place and function of human and perceived difference (including those pertaining to birth and citizenship, culture, ethnicity, gender, race, and sex) in the insistence on the above denials, sustained harassment, targeting, and ultimately discrimination as well as in their continuation via the imposition of ad-hoc, nontransparent, unconsented, uninformed and unregulated processes of voting on and competing, gaming, sporting, and toying with the Founder and with the Founder’s affairs, life, privacy, and property and via the assertion of scapegoating, targeting and vigilante collective action or will.

* For further details regarding the above history and impetus for founding, please make written request to the Founder, Alvan Azinna Chibuzo Ikoku. And furthermore, by accessing, communicating, engaging, monitoring, transmitting, or otherwise using or visiting, in any way, The Ikoku Group, any areas, offices, parts, sections, or assets or properties of The Ikoku Group, any areas, offices, parts, sections, or assets or properties of the divisions, series, subsidiaries, or affiliates, as well as any areas, offices, parts, sections, or assets or properties of the Products or Services, you accept and agree to fully inform the Founder of any knowledge you have regarding the above and related activities and history.

Founding Core Purpose

In response to the above, the Founder, Alvan Azinna Chibuzo Ikoku, established and shall further develop The Ikoku Group with the core, express and founding purpose to create, develop, and support communities, institutions, and societies where the above and related practices do not occur and to help other communities, institutions, and societies reduce the occurrence and prevalence of the above and related practices.

Sancthumanism

Such core, express and founding purpose shall also be in response to apparent, historical and sustained failures and limitations of established, present-day and prevailing civics, commerce, education, institutions, politics, public discourse and religion to provide a meaningful moral and ethical basis for ensuring the care, equanimity, recognition, respect, sanctity, sovereignty and spiritual or theological wholeness of human beings in contemporary society. Thus, The Ikoku Group, operating as a for-profit company, shall do so via the following faith-based commitments and principles:

Sancthụmanism

that The Ikoku Group advance, develop, offer, practice, study, and teach Sancthụmanism — administered, defined, interpreted and organized solely by the Founder, Alvan Azinna Chibuzo Ikoku — as a distinct faith and spiritual order, not to be conflated with any other established or organized faith, religion, or spirituality;

Human and Humane Ethics

that such a distinct faith and spiritual order practice and promote belief in the moral ethics, principles, and tenets of humanity, humanness, human autonomy and dignity, human recognition and reciprocity, human equality in basic, fundamental and natural freedoms, liberties and rights, and thus human equanimity and humane co-existence;

Mmadụism

that such belief in Sancthụmanism be furthermore grounded in Mmadụism and its basic moral and ethical injunction as formulated in two fundamental claims: ọ bu mmadụ (“that person is a human being”) and ọ bụ nwa mmadụ (“that person is someone’s child” or “that person is a human being’s child”);

Disciplines, Practices, Studies

that such belief in Sancthụmanism hold engagement in human and humane disciplines, practices, and studies as a manifestation of and respectful treatment of human beings and human societies in light of the above fundamental claims and their moral and ethical injunctions;

Inquiry, Revelation, Elucidation

and so, where conducted in a manner that is ethical, humane and respectful, that such engagement be further grounded in the study of, inquiry into, revelation in, and elucidation from comparative human disciplines and societies — including comparative forms of ecumenism, religion, spirituality and theology, the arts, the humanities, the sciences, theory, and the application of knowledge in civics, culture, law, medicine, politics, sports, and technology.

* For further details regarding the above founding commitments to Sancthụmanism, please make written request to the Founder, Alvan Azinna Chibuzo Ikoku. And furthermore, by accessing, communicating, engaging, monitoring, transmitting, or otherwise using or visiting, in any way, The Ikoku Group, any areas, offices, parts, sections, or assets or properties of The Ikoku Group, any areas, offices, parts, sections, or assets or properties of the divisions, series, subsidiaries, or affiliates, as well as any areas, offices, parts, sections, or assets or properties of the Products or Services, you accept and agree to fully inform the Founder of any knowledge you have regarding the above and related activities and history.

Attendant Core Purposes

As part of the core, express and founding purposes described above, the Founder, Alvan Azinna Chibuzo Ikoku, shall also further develop The Ikoku Group in view of the Founder’s birth into, formation within and further development of a multigenerational, longstanding family commitment to lifelong education and research; as well as in direct response to past, present-day and ongoing infringements of basic, fundamental and natural freedoms, liberties and rights, including the disenfranchisement, forced migration, impoverishment, marginalization, stigmatization, underrepresentation, unethical care and research, and violations of due process, liberty and privacy rights, of varying peoples in Africa, its global diasporas, and culturally and structurally connected societies. The Ikoku Group shall thus have an attendant founding purpose to promote public awareness of, enhance public knowledge of and engage in commerce in and pertaining to Africa, its global diasporas, and its connected or shared societies, as well as foster global interrelationships between Africa and the Americas, Asia, Australasia and Oceania, and Europe.

Incompatibility with Founding

No activities, operations, or other processes of The Ikoku Group shall entail any of the aforementioned dehumanizing or subhumanizing practices. And any version of such practices — as well as any accruing of advantage, benefit, or information through such practices, and also any natural or legal persons assisting, employing, permitting, planning, or otherwise conducting or promoting such practices — are by definition incompatible with The Ikoku Group as well as its founding, development, administration, management, and operation; and upon the discovery of such practices, reporting to, remedies to, and subsequent remedying with the Founder as well as The Ikoku Group shall be conducted and sought immediately.
