Strika Of “Beast Of No Nation” Fame Now A Beggar

Posted on by Peace Agyare

It has appeared that Strika, who shot to global fame alongside Abraham Attah for his performance in Netflix’s ‘Beasts of No Nation’ film has not been as lucky as the latter.

Real name Emmanuel Nii Adom Quaye, has been reported to have been abandoned to a cruel fate.

A Facebook user, Caleb Nii Boye made this sad revelation on his Facebook on Monday morning.

His post reads;

“I am sad this morning. I was heading to the Ghana Institute of Journalism campus and I met Striker. You would ask who is Striker? Striker starred in the movie Beast of No Nations. The said film that made Abraham Attah.

“Today I met him begging for money on the road leading to GIJ. I called him and brought him to campus. Speaking to him he tells me he now works with a gentleman who sells Yam at Agbogbloshie Market. He stays with his grandma at North Kaneshie”.

This news, however, came as a shock, as Kobina Amissah-Sam who also featured in the Beast of no Nation movie, stated that all the kids who took part in the movie have been well taken care of in an interview with MzGee on Hitz FM in 2016.

He is reported to have said;

“They have not been forgotten, they have really been taken care of. They are not lacking now as they used to so everything is cool for them now. He has never been in school before but after the production, producers of the movie felt that they have to put him in school.

“I don’t think that it is Netflix that is taking care of them, it is the producer who wants to help the kids. He is taking care of the three kids, Abraham, Striker and there is one other guy called Justice who stepped on Agu’s head when he was caught” he said.

Beasts of No Nation is a 2015 American war drama film. It was written, co-produced and directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, who acted as his own cinematographer. The movie centers on a young boy who becomes a child soldier as his country goes through a horrific war.

Shot in Ghana and starring Idris Elba, Abraham Attah, Ama K. Abebrese, Grace Nortey, David Dontoh, and Opeyemi Fagbohungbe, the film is based on the 2005 novel of the same name by Uzodinma Iweala ― the book itself being named after a Fela Kuti album.
