Club career
B.93
Ogude signed a contract with Danish third tier B.93 in December 2015, at the age of 21, after playing in Israel for a few years.[4] His debut for the first team was as a substitute against B1908 on 24 March 2016, a game which B.93 won 3–1.[2]
After being awarded the title of Player of the Year in the Danish third tier, Ogude attracted interest from Danish Superliga club Brøndby IF which resulted in a tryout.[5]
Vendsyssel
On 7 July 2017, Ogude signed for Danish second tier club Vendsyssel FF on a three-year deal.[6] He made his debut for Vendsyssel in a league match on 30 July 2017 against Fremad Amager, where he came on as a late substitute for Jeppe Illum. His first season at the club resulted in promotion to the Superliga. Ogude ended the season with 27 appearances in which he scored 10 goals.[7]
Ogude made his first appearance at the highest Danish level on 15 July 2018, as a 82nd-minute substitute for Sebastian Czajkowski as Vendsyssel won 3–2 home over OB.[8] He scored his first goal at the highest level from a penalty kick on 26 August in a 1–2 home loss to Brøndby IF. The penalty resulted in a controversial situation, where opposing supporters from Brøndby threw a football on the field with the intention of flinching Ogude at the moment of shooting.[9] Ogude himself explained that he did not notice the episode, but that a lighter was thrown at him from the opposing fans.[9] The incident resulted in a fine of 25,000 DKK for Brøndby.[10] On 5 September, Ogude scored six goals as Vendsyssel crushed Danish sixth tier side Egen UI with a total score of 9–1.[11] He finished the season with 27 appearances in which he scored nine goals, as Vendsyssel suffered relegation after one year at the highest level.[12] The club confirmed on 12 August 2020, that Ogude had left the club.[13]
Al Tadhamon
In September 2020, Ogude signed with Kuwait Premier League club Al Tadhamon.[14] In the summer of 2021, Ogude tore his anterior cruciate ligament.[15] His contract was not extended, making him a free agent in July 2021.[15]
Return to B.93
In March 2022, Ogude returned to B.93.[15] On 1 February 2024 the club confirmed, that Oguda had left by mutual agreement.[16]
