The development of The Ikoku Corporation 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 division establishment further described below:

During a period preceding and extending into the formation of The Alvan Ikoku Corporation and its parent company, 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.*

In response to the above, the Founder, Alvan Azinna Chibuzo Ikoku, established and shall further develop The Ikoku Corporation 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.

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 Corporation, operating as a for-profit entity, shall do so via the following faith-based commitments and principles:

As part of the core, express and founding purposes described above, the Founder, Alvan Azinna Chibuzo Ikoku, shall also further develop The Ikoku Corporation 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 Corporation 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.

Notwithstanding any provisions of the Codes and Policies of The Ikoku Corporation or any other applicable documents, guidelines, laws, policies, or equivalent legal instruments, no objectives of The Ikoku Corporation shall supersede or be of greater benefit, import, or priority than the core, express and founding mission and purposes of The Ikoku Corporation as defined, described and delineated above. No activities, operations, or other processes of The Ikoku Corporation shall entail any of the aforementioned dehumanizing or subhumanizing practices. 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 Corporation as well as its founding, development, administration, management, and operation. And upon the discovery by any person of such practices or its equivalent, immediate reporting and subsequent remedying shall be conducted to and via Alvan Azinna Chibuzo Ikoku, the sole Founder and Owner of The Ikoku Corporation, who shall be the sole person to interpret this and other codes and policies of The Ikoku Corporation and adjudicate the aforementioned and attendant matters.
