What is the meaning/importance of hashtag(#). E.g #bringbackourgirls e.t.c. A hashtag is a word or an unspaced phrase prefixed with the hash character, #, to form a label. It is a type of metadata tag. Words or phrases in messages on microblogging and social networking services such as Facebook, Google+, Instagram, Twitter, or VKmay be tagged by entering # before them, [ 1 ]either as they appear in a sentence, e.g., "New artists announced for #SXSW2014 Music Festival" [ 2 ]or appended to it. The term hashtag can also refer to the hash symbol itself when used in the context of a hashtag. [ 3 ]
A hashtag allows grouping of similarly tagged messages, and also allows an electronic search to return all messages that contain it.
Because of its widespread use, the word, hashtag, was added to the Oxford English Dictionary in June 2014. To search any related topics on facebook or twitter you can just enter #topics and click search. Know how you use the hashtag!

i no even understand one thing,u just use big big words dey explain something thats already complicated.

here is a better explanation
If you have been on Twitter, you may have seen a "hashtag." To
put it simply, a hash tag is simply a way for people to search
for tweets that have a common topic and to begin a
conversation. For example, if you search on #LOST (or #Lost or
#lost, because it's not case-sensitive), you'll get a list of
tweets related to the TV show. What you won't get are tweets
that say "I lost my wallet yesterday" because "lost" isn't
preceded by the hash tag.
Hashtags believed to have originated on Twitter but,
interestingly enough, it is not a Twitter function. Some believe it
began when the broken plane luckily landed in the Hudson River
in early 2009, some Twitter user wrote a post and added
#flight1549 to it. I have no idea who this person was, but
somebody else would have read it and when he posted
something about the incident, added #flight1549 to HIS tweet.
For something like this, where tweets would have been flying
fast and furiously, it wouldn't have taken long for this hash tag
to go viral and suddenly thousands of people posting about it
would have added it to their tweets as well. Then, if you wanted
info on the situation, you could do a search on "#flight1549"
and see everything that people had written about it.
Take this ashtag for example: #worstjobeverhad. This Hash tag
would compel many others to share the worst jobs they've ever
had, thus contributing to a fun conversation. It can be used for
specific searches or individual twitters that begin them for their
followers.
