Moses Oruaze Dickson was born to the Dickson family of Obu-ware compound in Bolou-Orua in Sagbama Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, Nigeria. A noble family with ancestry ties with Oba Fidipote Royal family of Idewon in Ijebu-Ode, south-west state of Ogun.

His mother, Mrs. Goldcoast Dickson, played a very critical role in shaping his worldview. As a loving mother, Mrs. Dickson inculcated in her son the virtues of hard work, learning and generosity. She had to literally sweat via manual farming to provide food and education in a shack that served dual purposes of sitting and sleeping room.

At age 9 Moses went to live with his elder brother, Henry Seriake Dickson, who was a police officer then in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.  By the tutelage of his police sibling, the young Moses had his primary education at Police Children’s School in Port Harcourt.

On graduation, he went to the Nigerian Law School in Abuja to qualify to be an advocate and solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria and was called to the Bar on February 14, 2012. A date that joyously coincides with the swearing in of his older brother, Hon. Henry Seriake Dickson as the Governor of Bayelsa State.
