Mention one place where God or Jesus said this
I don't need to. Just study the Biblical meaning of the word "Church." It's obvious.

Our GOs in Nigeria don't even believe in heaven.

Christianity is a big scam in Africa

That's a funny question

Thus says the LORD: "Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool; what is the house that you would build for me, and what is the place of my rest? (Isa 66: 1)
21. Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones who love me. And because they love me, my Father will love them. And I will love them and reveal myself to each of them." 22. Judas (not Judas Iscariot, but the other disciple with that name) said to him, "Lord, why are you going to reveal yourself only to us and not to the world at large?" 23. Jesus replied, "All who love me will do what I say. My Father will love them, and we will come and make our home with each of them. (John 14: 21-23)
I hope you have found the truth now
So the Father and Jesus do not live In heaven. They are inside us here on earth?

Explain 1 kings 8:27, 30.

Can you imagine 😂
Now you explain 3. The LORD said to him, "I have heard your prayer and your petition. I have set this Temple apart to be holy-- this place you have built where my name will be honored forever. I will always watch over it, for it is dear to my heart. (Not that he is coming to stay there) 4. " As for you, if you will follow me with integrity and godliness, as David your father did, obeying all my commands, decrees, and regulations, 5. then I will establish the throne of your dynasty over Israel forever. For I made this promise to your father, David: 'One of your descendants will always sit on the throne of Israel.' 6. "But if you or your descendants abandon me and disobey the commands and decrees I have given you, and if you serve and worship other gods, 7. then I will uproot Israel from this land that I have given them. I will reject this Temple that I have made holy to honor my name. I will make Israel an object of mockery and ridicule among the nations. 8. ANd Though this Temple is impressive now, all who pass by will be appalled and will shake their heads in amazement. They will ask, 'Why did the LORD do such terrible things to this land and to this Temple?' 9. "And the answer will be, 'Because his people abandoned the LORD their God, who brought their ancestors out of Egypt, and they worshiped other gods instead and bowed down to them. That is why the LORD has brought all these disasters on them.'" (1Kgs 9: 3-9)


Did he say He would himself come there?!!
Even Solomon knows and said that God cannot dwell in the place he built But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold , the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded? (1Ki 8: 27)

Btw

It is nonsense to even Think that God is bound by the limitations of position or time.
Like God is a being that can only be at a place at a particular time?

No one can.

10. But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel on that day, says the LORD: I will put my laws in their minds, and I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. 11. And they will not need to teach their neighbors, nor will they need to teach their relatives, saying, 'You should know the LORD.' For everyone, from the least to the greatest, will know me already. (Heb 8: 10-11)

If you believe in Jesus, you would know him already and no one would have to tell you about him.
