Newcastle’s William Osula Shows Heart of Gold As He Gifts £200 to Struggling Nigerian Student
Newcastle United forward William Idamudia Osula, a young talent of Nigerian descent, has warmed hearts after performing a remarkable act of kindness toward a fellow Nigerian student in the United Kingdom.
The 21-year-old striker, known for his energy and flair on the pitch, demonstrated equal compassion off it when he responded to a heartfelt message from Kawu Abdullah, a Nigerian student facing financial difficulties.

Abdullah had reached out to the Premier League star, humbly explaining his struggles and requesting £100 to help with basic living expenses.
In a gesture that has since gone viral among Nigerian football fans online, Osula not only responded but went a step further — sending £200, double the amount requested. His simple act of generosity struck a chord with many, highlighting the human side of footballers often unseen by the public.
The student, overwhelmed with gratitude, shared the story online, praising Osula for his empathy and humility. “He didn’t have to do it, but he did — and even more than I asked for,” Abdullah wrote. “May God bless him abundantly.”
Born in Denmark to Nigerian parents, William Osula joined Newcastle United from Sheffield United earlier this year, following an impressive spell in the Championship. Despite his rising profile, the young forward has continued to embody the values of humility and compassion — traits deeply rooted in his Nigerian upbringing.
Osula’s thoughtful gesture has drawn admiration from fans both in Nigeria and abroad, many describing him as “a true ambassador of kindness.”
While his goals on the pitch continue to earn headlines, this off-field moment reminds the world that character defines greatness just as much as talent.
In football — as in life — small acts of kindness often make the biggest impact, and William Osula has just proven that with class and grace.
