Who is Ruqayya Mayo Belwa?

Ruqayya Mayo Belwa also known as Gimol is a female musician who specializes in Hausa and Fulani language songs. Ruqayya started singing far back in 2012 with “Hala Baba Be Bingel” being one of her earliest and populous songs. She is so passionate about her music career and has been singing since then.

Gradually, her fame spread across the Northern Nigeria state, the reason for this was that she boldly uses her music as a medium to appreciate, call out, and honour prominent leaders in authority. Leaders, who use their power, wealth, and influence to impact lives positively. Some of those songs include “Marwa Pullo Danejo Tall” and “Jonde Jam Fulani ” which are on her topmost listened songs.

Subsequently, because of her modesty and sincerity, she is usually invited to occasion to appreciate leaders for their service to humanity. Interestingly, she has released over 50 noteworthy songs.

Furthermore, she is also motivated by love, which is reflected in the wordings of some of her songs like “Nde en Yidaata”. Oftentimes, she uses her music to appreciate Almighty Allah for his faithfulness as in “Mi Andi Ko Nebi”

In addition, some of her most populous songs include “Yide Beldum”, “Allah Renu Fulbe”, and “Saro Ma”. Rukayya Mayo Belwa is still singing and apparently won’t stop singing for the rest of her life.
