NSLog(@"User Info Received: %@", userInfo);    
NSMutableDictionary *profileData = [userInfo objectAtIndex:0];
                             // userInfo is converted into NSDictionary

You should use stringWithFormat which behaves similar to printf. That is, you can pass a string with placeholders that are interpolated. 

NSNumber *number = [NSNumber numberWithInt:100];
NSString *string = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d followers", [number intValue]];
NSLog(@"%@", string); // Would print "100 followers\n"

[NSNumber stringValue] is good

NSNumber has an instance method called integerValue, which can convert an NSNumber object into a NSInteger. Then you can use NSString's stringWithFormat to convert that NSInteger into an autoreleased NSString.
