Beasts of No Nation actor, Strika, is allegedly wasting his life away as he has now taken to smoking.

In his latest video circulating on social media, Strika has confessed to smoking. Though he didn't state exactly what he smokes, he suggested that it helps him overcome his depression.

According to him, smoking is what helps him deal with his over thinking, suggesting he may not stop anytime soon.

“Oh yeah the smoking is not anything. Because of how I have been thinking, I want the pressure to go down; That is why I smoke a lot,” he told a gentleman who recorded the video.

Strika, real name Emmanuel Nii Adom Quaye, has been praised as one of the young talents who acted very well in the movie Beasts of No Nation.

His colleague actor Abraham Attah has been doing very well out there in the United States. But Strika's case is different in Ghana.

In 2018, he was reported to be begging for money in the streets of Accra despite the fact that he made over thirty thousand dollars for playing his first movie role alongside international star, Idris Elba in Beasts of No Nation.

This time he has confessed to smoking because he is depressed as a result of his struggling status.
