She was born in the Northeastern state on November 9, 1992, and she is currently 31 years old. She was raised in an Islamic family background alongside her two brothers, who apparently are not so popular, probably because they are not involved in the entertainment industry.<\/p>\n<p>Maryam had her basic and secondary education in Gombe State before proceeding to attain her degree in Business Administration from the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) in Bornu State. Until her university years, Maryam spent her early years in the town of Gombe.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Who Is Maryam Waziri\u2019s Father?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Maryam Waziri&#8217;s father is not known, although there are claims that he is Scottish while her mother is Fulani. Sadly, there are no further details about her parents and siblings, as the actress has chosen to keep them away from the public eye. However, in a recent interview, the actress revealed that her father and mother have only three children &#8211; two boys &#8211; with herself as the only girl.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CfmSDGCMgrW\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

After completing her studies, she relocated to Kano state, where she met the movie producers who helped her find her path in Kannywood.<\/p>\n<p>Though she joined the industry with so much enthusiasm, her shyness made her first experience in the industry quite challenging. Moreso, following her Islamic background, Maryam had to adapt to the restrictions placed on her career by her Islamic\/Hausa tradition. The rules, according to her, include that she is not allowed to sit close to a man who is not her husband, and since she was not married in real life, she was not expected to depict it in movies.<\/p>\n<p>Although these rules made things quite challenging for her and made some of her performances appear &#8220;unreal&#8221;, Maryam Waziri does not regret not touching a man or playing romantic roles because her Islamic faith is her priority. So far, Maryam has featured in flicks like <em>Muguwar Mace, Yan Zamani, Labarina, Ya Ko Kishiya, Yakin Mata, <\/em>and<em> Aminan Juna<\/em>. She also returned to Gombe state and committed herself to making more movies.<\/p>\n<p>Maryam recalls films like &#8220;Muguwar Mace&#8221; and &#8220;Yan Zamani&#8221; as the two movies that brought her to the limelight. The 2016 movie &#8220;Muguwar Mace&#8221; had Waziri working with top Kannywood stars like <a href=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/inside-ali-nuhus-biography-and-family-life-with-wife-maimuna-garba\/\">Ahmad Ali Nuhu<\/a> and Ali Gumak. While the 2019 drama series &#8220;Yan Zamani&#8221; further linked her with a wider number of Kannywood actors, including Umar Gombe.<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, Maryam Waziri gained further public notice for her appearance in the movie titled \u201cLabarina.\u201d\u00a0 The movie was produced by Saira Movies, and it features the likes of Naziru Sarkin Waka, Daddy Hikima, Hadiza Muhammad, and others.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to her versatility and ability to portray different movie roles, Maryam has appeared in over 30 Kannywood Movies, and these films have won her different awards and recognition in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>List of Maryam Waziri&#8217;s Movies and TV Shows<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Gidan Abinci\u2018,<\/li>\n<li>\u2018Dare Daya\u2018,<\/li>\n<li>\u2018Rai Dai\u201c,<\/li>\n<li>Muguwar Mace,<\/li>\n<li>Yan Zamani,<\/li>\n<li>Labarina,<\/li>\n<li>Ya Ko Kishiya,<\/li>\n<li>Yakin Mata,<\/li>\n<li>Aminan Juna<\/li>\n<li>\u2018Hijira\u2018<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u2018Kisan Gilla\u2018<\/li>\n<li>\u201cYan Zamani,\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cGida Uku,\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cAska Tara,\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cMatar Jami\u2019a<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While acting remains Waziri&#8217;s major career, she is also a successful businesswoman.

She also owns a boutique in Kano State, where she sells clothes and accessories.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Who Is Maryam Waziri\u2019s Husband?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Maryam Waziri&#8217;s husband is Tijjani Babangida, a former Nigerian professional footballer. They got married on the 26th of November, 2021. Waziri met her husband a few years after she publicly revealed that she was single and &#8216;desperately&#8221; in search of a man after her own heart.<\/p>\n<p>The young beautiful actress said so during an interview where she was asked about the man in her life. In reply, she said, &#8220;No man for now, but I am seriously searching for the man after my heart.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tijjani Babangida is a former Nigerian professional football winger known for his pace, as well as his playing style, which at the time was compared to that of Marc Overmars. Babangida, who is now President of the National Association of Nigerian Professional Footballers (NANPF), got married to Maryam at a ceremony in Kaltungo, a local government in Gombe State. However, there are no details of their love lives prior to their marriage.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CoVcYpnOmzP\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
