A citizen is classified as someone having a passport from that country. If you are foreign, you are entitled to apply for another countries passport after living/working in that country for usually 5 years, although there are large variations in this.

Historically, a "citizen" has referred to a legal resident of a country, who was either born there or became naturalized. Centuries ago, the word (which comes from the old French for 'someone who lives in a city') was also used to mean any person who lives in a city or town. But these days, "citizen" has a more specific meaning. It refers to the rights and privileges which are granted when a person has citizenship. For example, in the United States, a citizen is allowed to vote, run for office, and participate in the government.

How are you not a british citizen if you have lived here for 19 years and you have a national insurance number?

A British citizen - is someone born in the UK - in just the same way as a Kosovan is someone born in Kosovo. If you were born outside the UK, and migrated here - you are a 'naturalized citizen'. You are always a native of the country you were born in - moving to any other country makes you an immigrant. Having a NI number simply means you came here legally - instead of in the back of a lorry !
