Dagombas are not people from Burkina Faso and therefore are not Burkinabes. Dagombas are Ghanaians.Both the Dagombas ,Mamprusis and Mossi people were living together in Dagomba and Mamprusi lands in ancient times when mossi people migrated to Burkina Faso and founded the mossi lands when burkina faso was an empty land.However mossis claimed that some mossis came from the area of the sahara desert in the north.The three tribes are described as brothers.When Tohazie and his followers came from Northern Nigeria,to Mali to Burkina Faso into Ghana all these three tribes were there and they introduced the chieftaincy institution to them after having married their daughters and produced some of the royals.The ancestors of the mossi managed to escape with their chieftaincy to Burkina Faso whilst Mamprusis and Dagombas managed to enskine their people.Tohazie and his people were said to be Berbers
which was a combination of Arabs and Spanish warriors as their origin.The chief of Gambaga was said to have ruled all the tree tribes when they were small and mossi were found around Gambaga and Bawku. Some mossi chiefs perhaps their mothers were both Mamprusis and Dagombas and Lossi too vice versa.Naa Gbewa Tohazies grandson was said to have stayed in Sanga , the town of mossi yangas whose fathers were also chiefs of gambaaga in ghana .
