Religiously, Olla is also not found wanting. From the ancient times our ancestors have been seeking for a way of relating with the deities through Ogun worship, worship of Oya, Sango etc. Many of such are celebrated amidst funfair like the Egungun Festival, Aworoko Festival, Ogun and Sango festivals.
There are other events that have nothing to do with religion that is observed in Olla, such like Odun Ijeshu(New Yam festival). According to Oral tradition, KOOYI is the only common Orisa(Orisa Ajobo) in Olla community, others are link up and celebrated by a particular family or clan.
After the advent of Christianity in the early 19th century, some of our ancestor turned their back against the long old tradition of Ifa worship, Sango, Oya, Ogun worship etc and accepted the Christ of Christianity brought by the Sudan Interior Mission which today dominated the land. It was much later that Islamic religion was also introduced and today we have a few family observing the Islamic right and modes of worship. Infact, Olla is a land of mixed religions of Christianity, Islam and Traditional worship.
