The largest congregation of Moslem faithful ever to be witnessed in any Nigerian Moslem community is the annual Moulud Nabbiyy celebration organised by a renowned Islamic Scholar of Tijaniyyat School of thought, Sheik Mohammad Ayinla Al-Awwal. The event has been taking place in Omupo since 1979. Christianity Christianity arrived in Omupo in 1926 through Offa/Igbomina Anglican Diocese. The first primary school in Omupo was established by the Anglican Church in 1942. Tourist attractions Tourist attractions include: Omo tree planted by Kujenrola. And a place called Igbo'ta not too far from Nana's compound where Kujenrola was said to have hung a chain like Oduduwa.

The young Prince lived his childhood life here in Omupo before he "stowed away" to Lagos in search of greener pasture in 1945. He was a successful businessman in Lagos until he was appointed by the Kwara State Government to succeed his brother, Oba Abdullahi Alao Awerijaiye II in 1974. By his appointment from the MAKAAYE Ruling House, Oba Jimoh Olarinoye became the 15th Olomu of Omupo and the first Traditional Ruler in the contemporary history of the town to be turbaned by his people in his domain. His predecessors after Oba Oyelegbin (1858-1876) were turbaned in succession by the Emir of Ilorin like every other graded Igbomina/Ekiti Obas in the defunct Ilorin province of the old Northern Region. Before he ascended the throne of his forefathers, Oba Olarinoye was an activist and one of the movers and shakers of events in Omupo. He worked in collaboration with the likes of Pa Samuel Omoyiola, Sheik Mohammad Awwal (Mukadam), Alh. Abdul-Kareem Aremu Kolawole (Oluoko), Alh. Lawal Kanisuru (Eleree), Alh. Aminu Aweda (Ajinge), Alh. Jimoh Iyanda (Oloko), Alh. Jimoh Otuyo (Dasitolohun), Chief Reuben Olaoti (Councilor), Chief Joshua Adebara and Alh. Karimu Talibi (Ogbele) - all of blessed memory.
