Career

Ogungbure last played for Vissai Ninh Bình of the Vietnamese V-League. He previously played for one season in the Bundesliga with 1. Football Club Nuremberg. On 25 March 2006, in a match between Football Club Sachsen Leipzig and Hallescher Football Club, Ogungbure was the subject of monkey noises from Hallescher Football Club Fans.

In retaliation he placed two fingers above his mouth and saluted at the crowd – a reference to Adolf Hitler.

First, Ogungbure was accused and reported by German police, as it is illegal to make Nazi gestures for political or abusive purposes, but criminal proceedings were dropped 24 hours later. The team and especially a group of the supporters of Football Club Sachsen came up with a campaign to show their solidarity with Ogungbure.

The fans" campaign "Wir sind Ade" (We are Ade-bowale) managed to raise attention for Ogungbure"s situation and against racism in Germany. The initiative still exists as "Bunte Kurve" (colourful fan stand).
