My chat data is successfully inserted into firebase, but I cannot fetch the data into designated chat rooms - swift

Question

I am currently following zero2launches chat application, and I also watched/completed their other tutorials on YouTube. While I started the chat application, I thought about changing the chat portion from a tableViewController to JSQMessageViewController. In that effort, I can post the data to firebase, but it won't show up in the individual chat rooms.
Here is the code:
var roomId: String!
var messages = [JSQMessage]()
func observeMessage() {
messageRef.observeEventType(.ChildAdded, withBlock: { snapshot in
//print(snapshot.value)
if let dict = snapshot.value as? [String: AnyObject] {
let mediaType = dict["MediaType"] as! String
let senderId = dict["senderId"] as! String
let senderName = dict["senderName"] as! String
switch mediaType {
case "TEXT":
let text = dict["text"] as? String
self.messages.append(JSQMessage(senderId: senderId, displayName: senderName, text: text))
case "PHOTO":
let fileUrl = dict["fileUrl"] as! String
let url = NSURL(string: fileUrl)
let data = NSData(contentsOfURL: url!)
let picture = UIImage(data: data!)
let photo = JSQPhotoMediaItem(image: picture)
self.messages.append(JSQMessage(senderId: senderId, displayName: senderName, media: photo))
case "VIDEO":
let fileUrl = dict["fileUrl"] as! String
let video = NSURL(string: fileUrl)
let videoItem = JSQVideoMediaItem(fileURL: video, isReadyToPlay: true)
self.messages.append(JSQMessage(senderId: senderId, displayName: senderName, media: videoItem))
default:
print("unknow data type")
}
if mediaType == "TEXT" {
let text = dict["text"] as? String
self.messages.append(JSQMessage(senderId: senderId, displayName: senderName, text: text))
}else if mediaType == "PHOTO" {
let fileUrl = dict["fileUrl"] as! String
let url = NSURL(string: fileUrl)
let data = NSData(contentsOfURL: url!)
let picture = UIImage(data: data!)
let photo = JSQPhotoMediaItem(image: picture)
self.messages.append(JSQMessage(senderId: senderId, displayName: senderName, media: photo))
}else if mediaType == "VIDEO" {
let fileUrl = dict["fileUrl"] as! String
let video = NSURL(string: fileUrl)
let videoItem = JSQVideoMediaItem(fileURL: video, isReadyToPlay: true)
self.messages.append(JSQMessage(senderId: senderId, displayName: senderName, media: videoItem))
}
print(dict)
let text = dict["text"] as? String
self.messages.append(JSQMessage(senderId: senderId, displayName: senderName, text: text))
self.collectionView.reloadData()
}
})
