Setting a Title in iOS

I'm using iOS 5 with storyboards. I have a root Navigation Controller and attached to that a Tab Bar Controller with two Tab Bar Items. I'm trying to manually or programmatically set the title in one of the Tab Bar items on the top navigation bar.

Below are some of the fun things I tried in ViewDidLoad but the title is still not showing up.

self.navigationController.navigationItem.title = @"Item List";
self.navigationItem.title = @"Item List";
self.tabBarItem.title = @"Item List";
[self.tabBarItem setTitle: @"Item List"];
[self.navigationItem setTitle:@"Item List"];
[[self.parentViewController.tabBarController.tabBar.items objectAtIndex:0] setTitle: @"Item List"];

How do you set the title in iOS 5?

Thanks for all your comments. I found the correct statement is

self.tabBarController.navigationItem.title = @"Item List";

called in ViewDidLoad.

Did you try self.title = @"Item List"? :)

-(void) viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    self.title = @"Item List";
}
