Abstract: Language is a unique identity to every community in Nigeria; English has been a major communication medium in schools and high intuitions of learning. Over time this has posed as a threat on the indigenous languages in Nigeria were Ogba language is the primary focus, as this locally spoken languages will no longer exist based on the rapid growth of the English language in the local communities. There is this fear that Nigeria indigenous language is been traded off for English language as a major means of communication due to colonization. This work is focused on the design and implementation of a web-based electronic learning system of Ogba language. The Object-Oriented Analysis and Design Methodology was adopted, the system is modelled with Unified Modelling Language and developed using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, SQL scripting language and MySQL as the database. This web-based application enables prospective learners to learn the language at their convenience in respective of location, in order to arrest the extinction that looms over the language.
