UILabel not updating programmatically

I am attempting to update a UILabel when a user 'Logs In' to my app. I have placed a UILabel onto my Storyboard but it doesn't appear to update, my code is as follows

ViewController.h

@interface ViewController : UIViewController{    
     IBOutlet UILabel *followersCount;
}

@property(nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UILabel *followersCount;

@end

I then have an action that connects to a REST API via HTTP and it returns a string, if the string is true a user has logged in, so I want to log that users 'followers' to the label, so I use the code:

ViewController.m

followersCount.text = @"Hello World";

But I get the default 'Label' text and not the 'Hello World' as expected

Check if the Label Outlet is correctly connected to the Label on you .xib or storyboard file...

If it is, try adding self before the label's name:

self.followersCount.text = @"Hello World";
