Emmanuel Ifeanyi Ogude (born 29 March 1993) is a Nigerian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Danish 2nd Division side Nykøbing.
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. His debut for the first team was as a substitute against B1908 on 24 March 2016, a game which B.93 won 3–1.
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.
Vendsyssel On 7 July 2017, Ogude signed for Danish second tier club Vendsyssel FF on a three-year deal. 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.
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. 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. Ogude himself explained that he did not notice the episode, but that a lighter was thrown at him from the opposing fans. The incident resulted in a fine of 25,000 DKK for Brøndby. On 5 September, Ogude scored six goals as Vendsyssel crushed Danish sixth tier side Egen UI with a total score of 9–1. He finished the season with 27 appearances in which he scored nine goals, as Vendsyssel suffered relegation after one year at the highest level.
