  Noted events in his life were:

• Acceded: Tui Nayau. ¹¹⁸³⁹ Chief Niumataiwalu of Lakeba sent emissaries to escort his cousin Vukinavanua to Lakeba. Vukinavanua felt too old and weak to undertake the venture and instead sent the katonisau (basket containing the Nayau chiefly regalia ) which remained with Niumataiwalu's branch. This gesture is significant as it suggests a symbolic transference of Vukinavanua's rights to Niumatawalu's family . Vukinavanua was thus succeeded by Niumataiwalu's son, Rasolo

Rasolo married Laufitu [66263] [MRIN: 551619315].

Rasolo next married Radavu [66264] [MRIN: 551619343].
