I’ve never done a thread this long before and I had about half of this written out and then the page reloaded on my browser and I lost it all. So without further delay, who is Moe Odele really? The info in the public sphere raises more questions than it answers.

Let’s get one thing out of the way. This person has enough followers that she may make a living from her twitter account. See this site https://influencermarketinghub.com/twitter-money-calculator/

So before, her stans jump into my mentions, let’s be clear from the jump that this girl signed up for scrutiny. Further, as I think will become clear, she is not in the business of practicing law. She is a social media influencer, whose persona is that of a lawyer.

Yes, she may represent a client or two here or there, but it is not her main business. But here is the thing, I have no problem with fake it till you make it. I have no problem with someone creating a persona and being a social media influencer.

However, you can do this with literally just about any other profession, except the law and medicine. There are rules and laws against it. Which is why it’s a problem.

While I think it is clear that social media is her main bread and butter, and will show why, the questions arise from who exactly is using her services, and some of the possibilities are troubling.

So let’s get started first with Moe and her businesses she hypes. What appears to be true is that she is indeed a member of the Nigerian Bar, per the NBA website. Her LinkedIn shows she was admitted (called in commonwealth jurisdictions i think?) to the bar in 2012.

Then, per her LinkedIn, she worked for some startup advisory doing what appears to be basic corporate transactional work in Nigeria. Then it looks like she started an LLM at Columbia in 2016, they are two year programs, so presumably finished in 2018.

Columbia is an admittedly a great law school, one of the best in the country, only Yale, Harvard and Stanford are better. So credit where credit is due, this is impressive. But this is where things get shady.

As we know, she was admitted to the bar in October 2020 in New York. This is her first bar admission in the US. There are two explanations for why there is a gap between getting her LLM and being admitted to the bar. One is she failed the exam several times.

Two is that she passed the summer 2018 exam, but her “Character and Fitness” evaluation was not complete until sometime later. This isn’t necessarily anything of concern, you have three years after bar passage to get your C&F completed.

For example, I finished law school in 2013, took the NY and NJ bars and passed, but moved to Cotonou for several years after law school and was not practicing. I eventually did my C&F in both states, with a Dec 2015 admission to NJ and a February 2017 admission to NY.

New York has set times, i believe two, throughout the year when you must swear in in person in Albany. So she could have been qualified to swear in anytime between February 2020 and October 2020 but would have had to wait until October.

However, it could also be because she had something that was an issue. This could be anything from difficulty showing address history, which they want in detail (likely from someone born abroad), to criminal history (this is probably not the case).

In any case, it does not change the fact that she was not licensed until October 2020. So lets take a look at Vazi Legal and her purported businesses.

Like many of you, I started following Moe and Vazi Legal because I thought it was what it purported to be, a multi jurisdictional, multi office, international law firm with an Africa focus. As someone who does business in W Africa, this interested me.

I followed her for at least a year before October 2020, believing her to be part of Vazi Legal, the multi jurisdictional partnership. I hadn’t really given it much thought if she was licensed in the US or whether another attorney in the firm was.

Vazi Legal purports to have attorneys licensed in New York, the UK, Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, and until November 2020, when I called her out, Washington DC. It is in November 2020 she added the little snippet to her site saying “None of our attorneys are licensed in DC”

Well according to LinkedIn, until recently, there are only two attorneys associated with Vazi Legal. This is the only information we have, since, as I have mentioned and won’t rehash here because it is the subject of pending litigation, her website, problematically, does not have

any information in this regard. Per LinkedIn, Moe is the only attorney licensed in the US, as of October 2020, and there is one other attorney licensed in Nigeria. There were two new hires in the past few months which I’ll address shortly. In any event, it was just the two

until very recently. So out of the six jurisdictions they claimed to have licensed attorneys in, it appears they only had people licensed in two as of October 2020. Vazi Legal’s website was up, claiming licensure in these six jurisdictions as early as 2018, and the Vazi Legal

Twitter handle was created in 2018 and the earliest tweets that are still on it are in 2019. We know that out of the size jurisdictions where she claims to have licensed attorneys, they only had attorneys licensed in one jurisdiction as far as I can tell.

As mentioned before, she also definitely represented at least one client prior to October 2020.

There are a few things that indicate that while she may be representing a few clients, this is merely a side hustle and elaborate grift for building a persona for the larger enterprise which is social media influencer.

Pause.....So I guess you can only do a limited number of tweets in a thread on an iPad in one go, so I had to post what is there and now I guess I'll continue on my desktop.

So the first thing that seems to point to lawyering being secondary to social media influencer, is that there is really no reason she couldn't be licensed in DC. If you have a license in any state, you can waive in to DC with a simple application. U don't have to sit for the bar.

Anyone who was serious about lawyering, would know this and do this. Similarly, with Delaware. She knows what she is doing in setting up her new enterprise, Legal Trunk. She decided to set up this business conveniently right after I tweeted this:

She thinks she is being clever by setting up a company purporting to do incorporation work in Delaware, a la legal zoom, saying it isn't a law firm. I would argue she isn't, its still probably unauthorized practice. In any case, the point is, any serious attorney would just

get licensed in Delaware. I am considering getting licensed in Delaware for exactly this purpose. Or alternatively, they would associate with an attorney in Delaware and refer them work. This is really her best avenue, but she isn't doing it.

She likely thinks, that because she has so few real clients, and is a social media influencer, it doesn't matter. Well it does, and I will get to why in a moment. But to finish off why Vazi Legal appears to be a front for a social media influencing operation, consider her last

recent hire. A person by the name of Oluwafikayo Obadofin. She appears to maybe be an attorney. But she is also an SEO specialist and digital marketer.

Oh this is interesting, all of a sudden there is another attorney associated with Vazi Legal on linked in, a Lynda Dunkwu. She appears to be licensed in NY but not DC, interesting. Says she was with firm since Jan 2019. I hope this is true, and is not just cover for the

trademark work Moe did while not licensed. It seems strange this person would add this now, and have it backdated. Very strange. In any case, moving on. So Vazi Legal appears to be a house of cards. A "network of attorneys" it is not. This brings us to http://endsarslegalaid.co .

http://Endsarslegalaid.co  if you look on http://whois.com , was registered on October 19, 2020, the day before the CBN freeze of accounts. It is registered to a sketchy registrar, anonymously, out of Florida. It is like a cayman bank for registrars. Vazi Legal is similarly

registered. http://endsarslegalaid.co  also purported to be a "network of 800 attorneys." However, there is little evidence this is true. It appears to be a grift, well timed for maximum social media attention. It has quietly dropped off of her handle.

So this brings us around to her social media activity, which is quite interesting, supports the idea she is a social media influencer first and foremost, and raises a lot of questions.

So much of what she did around endsars appears to be a fabrication and carefully crafted social media campaign, that it is suspect. First, why did she return to Nigeria at all at this time? She never intended to be based in Nigeria, as she herself makes clear in this video

at 9:30. This video also shows just how focused on social media she is, as opposed to the law.

You'll note in that video she also holds herself out as being an attorney in the US, but we know at that time she was not licensed. She's lying on stage.

It also lays waste to the idea that she was "exiled" from her country. This is the same narrative Edward Snowden used, which was also bullshit, when he fled the US after committing treason. He also crafted an elaborate narrative to cover up this fact.

Trying to launder the treason with whistleblowing. I mention this for a reason, that I'll get to shortly. In any case, she never planned to be based in Nigeria, so the idea that she was "exiled" from her country and fled to the US is bullshit, she was just going home.

During endsars, Moe displayed an incredibly sophisticated social media aptitude, that no casual user of this platform would know how to do without professional help.

It may surprise you, as it did me, to know that Moe is not a part of and has nothing to do with the Feminist Coalition. In fact, the only person with whom she has a connection with on Twitter, and interacts with in any meaningful way on twitter with is FK Abudu.

Search her name with the handles of the other Feminist Coalition members and see for yourself. FK Abudu is notably not a founding member, the only late addition, to the Feminist Coalition. Moe did however, create the Feminist Coven.

What this allowed her to do, was create a sandboxed social media campaign, that rode on the back of the feminist coalition, but allowed her to amplify whatever message she wanted, giving the impression that she was part of the feminist coalition, without being part of it.

A Russian spy named Maria Butina did the exact same thing with the Republican Party in the United States in 2016. Maria Butina even asked Donald Trump a question during the campaign. Check it out, its interesting.

Using Feminist Coven allowed her to game the twitter algorithm in an incredibly sophisticated way. You will notice feminist coven has also quietly disappeared from her handle.

So this brings me to another issue worth exploring. Her Russia connection. By her own admission she has been to Moscow several times. She also, strangely tweets anti American propaganda at strategic times in American politics, which is suspect.

Right around the election, she tweets Kremlin disinformation:

And then there are her strange Dubai connections. Which is both a center for money laundering and capital flight, as well as a modern day Tangier for espionage. When she claimed to have been going to the Maldives all we really know is she was headed to Dubai when she was stopped

by Nigerian DSS. Ask yourself, do you get stopped by DSS for doing pro bono legal services, or do you get stopped because you might be involved in something deeper?

Also, her account laid out a narrative of going to the Maldives for months. As her account has laid out going somewhere other than Dubai for months, and yet, she is ending up in Dubai again it looks like this summer:

That misdirection is called tradecraft. Edward Snowden did the same thing. So she is a social media influencer, probably makes a living from it, has been to russia and Dubai and said some stuff about the election. So what you might be asking?

Well here is the problem that even the hint of what I am eluding to creates. If she is being paid to tweet things, and her account is not merely an expression of her opinion but an influence/marketing operation, then this creates dangerous conflicts of interest with her clients.

As I said, there is nothing inherently wrong with being a social media influence, but there is if you are an attorney. So the questions that are unanswered are the following:

1) Is she paid to tweet?
2) If she is, by whom?
3) What are her connections with Russia?
4) Did she just use endsars to pump her social media grift, or was there something more targeted and nefarious at play?
