I can't understand how this could be correct as a {-bogh}ed noun.
I know we can say {paq qanobta'bogh} for "the book which I gave you". but here the {paq} is the object of {nob}.
On the {naDev jIHtaHbogh} is the {naDev} an object ? and if yes, the object of what verb ? the object of {jIH} ? I can understand the {jIH} taking an object in the context of {SuvwI' jIH}. but then, the {naDev jIHtaH} would mean "I am here" not in the sense "I am present here", but in the sense "I am the here".
Could you explain what's happening ? Obviously there is something important I am missing here..

You're parsing this sentence incorrectly.
{naDev} is a noun. {naDev jIHtaHbogh} is a noun. {naDev jIHtaHbogh
meq} is a noun-noun construction.
Also, think about what it would mean if {naDev} were an adverbial
instead of a noun. The sentence would mean *"Now, here (in this
present location), I will tell you my reason for being."
