Navigation controller to tab bar controller

Question

I am storyboarding my app. The structure of the app is a login screen without a navigation bar or a tab bar which leads into the app showing navigation bar and tab bar on all screens. So a navigation controller leading into a tab bar controller.

I have tried the following when log in is successful:

UITabBarController *tabBarController=[[UITabBarController alloc]init];

DiaryViewController *diaryViewController = (DiaryViewController *)[storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"diary"];
WhosOutViewController *WOutViewController = (WhosOutViewController *)[storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"WhoOut"];
WhatsNearViewController *whatsNearViewController = (WhatsNearViewController *)[storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"WhatsNear"];
MoreViewController *moreViewController = (MoreViewController *)[storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"More"];
tabBarController.viewControllers=[NSArray arrayWithObjects:diaryViewController,whatsNearViewController, WOutViewController, moreViewController, nil];

[self.navigationController pushViewController:tabBarController animated:YES];

It does push with showing a tab bar but the navigation bar doesn't display. Can someone help me with this please? Or please suggest another way to implement this.

Thanks in advance

Suggestion .You should do the other way round:

self.navigationControllerOne.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObject:diaryViewController];
self.navigationControllerTwo.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObject:whatsNearViewController];
...
tabBarController.viewControllers=[NSArray arrayWithObjects:self.navigationControllerOne ,self.navigationControllerTwo, ... , nil];

and then push/dismiss happily
